Hi All,

I am goin on vacation in japan. While I am there I would love to check out used evo parts for sale.

Anybody know of any reputable garages or stores in Japan that sells used evo parts?

Thanks in advance

I would say, if you are going to be anywhere near Tokyo while you are there, this is a good place to start: http://www.japanparts.com/contact_us.htm

They are in Suginami-ku which is a bit out of the way but not too bad, depending on where you are staying. Then, there is always Autobacs, but it's not really much to see unless you can find a Super Autobacs. As far as used parts go, I'm just not sure, but the japanparts .com website says that everyone there speaks English, so I would think it's worth asking!

By the way, let me know what you do find out, please - I go to Japan for business often and I'd like to poke around next time I'm there!

Well, I always see those half nekkid japanese chicks in the japanese ads sitting in the cars---perhaps you can bring one of those "used parts" back?!

Not quite: Japanparts.com *don't sell* any Used parts

"A bit out of the way" Yeah, right: we're 15 minutes from Tokyos busiest station; Shinjuku, 20 minutes from Shibuya and right by the intersection of Ome-Kaido and Kanpachi-dori

Couldn't be more centrally located unless we setup in the Imperial Palace

Thanks for the recommendation; anyone wishing to visit us can call and make an appointment; we're closed Sundays and most public holidays

I stand corrected!

Thanks for the comment, Graham. I will be sure to stop by next time I am there. I normally stay near Shimbashi, which would be a bit more "out of the way", so I guess I was thinking about where I stay but you are right - it's still only 30 minutes or so.

Do you guys have a showroom, or just offices there?

20 minutes from Shibuya eh? You aren't kidding about any better of a location.

I was in japan a few months back. If you're looking for used parts. There's a magazine that sells nothing but use part. You can pick it up at Family Mart, Lawson, or 7-11.
