Xaurora AB – Inspection & Vehicle Condition Policy

1. General Overview

Xaurora AB specializes in sourcing Japanese collector vehicles, many of which are several decades old. Due to the nature of these vehicles, conditions can vary significantly and may include cosmetic wear, aging components, and signs of previous use. All vehicles are selected based on available information, condition reports, and market knowledge. Xaurora AB actively sources vehicles on-site in Japan and works closely with trusted local partners to identify well-preserved and desirable collector vehicles. This approach allows Xaurora AB to identify higher-quality vehicles before they reach the broader international market.

2. Sourcing and Initial Evaluation

Vehicles are identified through trusted Japanese dealers, auction platforms, and established industry contacts. Initial evaluations are based on a combination of third-party information, including auction sheets and dealer-provided material, as well as Xaurora AB’s own assessment during the sourcing process, including on-site evaluation as part of the sourcing process, supported by Xaurora AB’s presence in Japan and local network.

3. Independent Third-Party Inspections

Xaurora AB works with trusted third-party inspection providers as a complement to its own on-site sourcing and evaluation process. While these inspections provide valuable insight, they are conducted independently and may not capture every detail. Any information or guidance provided by Xaurora AB is based on experience and is intended to assist the buyer throughout the process. While Xaurora AB takes care in sourcing and evaluating vehicles, external factors such as regulatory decisions, third-party services, and authority approvals remain outside of Xaurora AB’s control and cannot be guaranteed.

4. Transparency and Documentation

Xaurora AB aims to provide full transparency throughout the sourcing process. Buyers will receive all available documentation prior to purchase, which may include inspection reports, images, and seller-provided information where available. The extent of documentation may vary depending on the source of the vehicle.

5. As-Is Purchase Basis

All vehicles are purchased on an “as-is” basis, meaning that the vehicle is sold in its current condition based on the information available at the time of purchase. Xaurora AB does not provide mechanical warranties unless explicitly agreed in writing.

6. Limitations of Inspection

While inspections aim to provide a clear and accurate overview of the vehicle, certain mechanical, electrical, or structural issues may not always be visible at the time of inspection and may only become apparent after transport or during use. Inspections are provided for informational purposes only and do not change the “as-is” nature of the purchase.

7. Mileage and History

Mileage readings, service history, and accident history are based on available documentation and information provided by dealers, auction houses, and vehicle records. Xaurora AB conducts its own assessment during the sourcing process, including on-site inspections and collaboration with local partners in Japan to verify vehicle condition and authenticity. However, certain historical details cannot always be fully verified independently.

8. Buyer Responsibility

The buyer is responsible for reviewing all documentation provided and making a well-informed decision before proceeding with a purchase. Buyers are encouraged to request additional inspections or clarification where necessary before confirming a purchase.

9. Condition After Transport

Vehicles that have been transported over long distances or stored for extended periods may require inspection, servicing, or maintenance upon arrival. The buyer is responsible for performing appropriate checks and maintenance before operating the vehicle. Upon prior agreement, Xaurora AB assists in coordinating such services where possible but acts only as an intermediary and is not responsible for the work carried out by third-party service providers.

10. Expectations for Collector Vehicles

Collector vehicles should not be compared to modern vehicles in terms of condition, reliability, or performance. Age-related wear, minor imperfections, and ongoing maintenance needs are expected and form part of owning a classic or collectible vehicle.
