As of November 2026, we can search the Japanese auctions for specific examples to suit your needs.

Instead, we invite you to ask us to search for a car that fits your budget and preferences. We will provide a detailed landed estimate for the exact vehicle before you commit to bidding.

For compliance, newer models must fall within specific SEVS approval ranges. We currently cover the E300e (214054) built from May 2023 onwards, the AMG E 53 4MATIC+ (S213261) built from June 2018 to January 2024, the E43 AMG 4MATIC 'T' (S213264) built from August 2016 to September 2018, and the Mercedes-AMG E63 / E63S Estate (S213) built from February 2016 onwards.
