If you are not in a desperate hurry I can save you money on a good bus!

Ted Jones - BetterBuses.com Proprietor

It has always seemed to me to be such a waste to buy a worn out old bus and spend a lot of money fitting it out with brand new equipment. So for many years I have taken pleasure at hunting down lightly used buses in Japan for conversion to motorhomes

I would like to buy new buses but of course that is of little use to most of us because of their cost. The next best thing then is to buy a low kilometer bus. Any bus is just a deteriorating machine so the less used it is the better it is.

For years people have asked me to shop for them in Japan for a quality bus. I charge them $3,000 plus GST to do just that. They pay the same price for a bus in Japan as a dealer would pay, plus my fee. They save a lot of money and I do alright too. More importantly they get a good quality bus. Because I don't really have to do this for a living I only buy for them what I know is top value..

Would you hand your decision to buy a bus over to a stranger for a fee? No, nor would I. However if you make the effort to contact me I am willing to make sure that I am no longer a stranger to you. If you are online with e-mail then it is easy because I can talk back and forth with you until the cows come home. I will tell you whatever it is that you want to know about the subject of buying a bus in Japan and how I am going to end up making you glad you visited this site.

To acquire the very best possible used bus and enjoy the very best possible price you should buy your bus in Japan.

You could visit Japan but it would cost you $5,000 or more in travel expenses. If you do visit Japan you will need to have local trade knowledge and your ability to speak in Japanese would also be a help. However having passed all those tests you are also going to have to know a bit about Japanese buses and how to access them at Japanese trade prices or you might as well stay in New Zealand.

Something that you might like to consider is to pay me $3,000 plus GST and appoint me as your personal buying and importing agent. If I act as your personal agent you will benefit a lot more than by your visiting Japan yourself.

Let us buy a bus together. You don't have to know anything about buses to start with. This is how we will do it:

You will simply and formally appoint me as your buying agent by making an order on me for a specific bus buying service.
I will give you as much of my time as we both may need to be absolutely certain that you know exactly what type of buses are available and what type of bus it is that you wish to buy.
I will advise you on what you should pay and how much you will save.
I will keep in contact with you every step of the way and only act for you in a manner instructed by you.
When your bus arrives in New Zealand I warrant that it will be found to conform to all your buying instructions or you will be able to cancel your purchase.
I will process your bus through the NZ Customs clearance procedures and the NZ LTSA (Land Transport Safety Authority) vehicle safety compliance procedures on your behalf so that it is ready to register.
Later you may even tell your friends that you had a pleasant, buying in Japan and importing to New Zealand, experience.

Remember, you will have paid only the Japanese export FOB (free on board) wholesale price, just like any New Zealand dealer visiting Japan will have done, plus $3,000 inc for my service. You cannot help but be very happy about that.
