Can I buy a left handle drive car in Japan?

Yes, there are many left-hand drive vehicles in Japan. These cars are usually manufactured abroad. 

Left-hand drive vehicles are very rarely produced by Japanese automakers. In other words, left-hand drive Lexus models are virtually absent from the used car market. 

However, it is very profitable to purchase European and American left-hand drive cars at Japanese auto auctions — vehicles that were previously imported to Japan from Europe or the United States and are now available for export again.

Typically, these are BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Ford, and some other brands.

For private buyers and car dealers, acquiring left-hand drive cars from Japan is especially attractive because — even with shipping and customs clearance — the total cost is 20–30% lower than in local markets. Additionally, these vehicles usually have lower mileage, better condition, and richer configurations. This creates great opportunities for profitable resale or simply gives access to a premium vehicle at a much more affordable price.
