Vincentians having “issues” while buying second-hand Japanese vehicles – Ministry

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade says it has noted an “upsurge in issues” faced by local Vincentians when purchasing second-hand vehicles from Japan.

A release issued by the Ministry on April 19 said in “an effort to mitigate against such issues”, the Ministry wishes to advise the public that the Japan Used Motor Vehicle Exporters Association (JUMVEA) has been verified as a legitimate second-hand vehicle dealership by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in Japan.

The Ministry wishes to further advise that individuals and organisations wishing to conduct business with vehicle dealerships from Japan do so via the JUMVEA website (https://www.jumvea.or.jp) to avoid any inconveniences.
