JCM

Detailed Explanation of Icons
(opens in a pop-up window)

Compared with the larger used car dealer chains in Japan, JCM may not have as much market recognition. However, the company was actually established with investment from the Japan Used Car Dealers Association and 20 major Japanese companies in 1984. JCM acquires vehicles from not only individual consumers, but also government entities and corporations, and has proven to deliver some of the best results for this industry in Japan. In addition to the vehicle purchasing and sales business, JCM is also involved in other ventures. These include the creation and administration of Car Sensor (a Japanese magazine and website for used vehicle information), as well as the distribution of a publication and website called "Kaigai Iroha" to provide information for Japanese nationals who are on work assignments in other countries. This expertise enables JCM to provide a unique system which sets them apart from other similar companies, so those who know will tell you that they are the ultimate used vehicle purchase and sales service provider in Japan! Free online assessments are also currently available. Those who are looking to sell their vehicles should take advantage of this opportunity.

Mileage Accrual

When Selling Vehicles

Customers who sell their vehicles to JCM can earn miles according to the contracted selling price. Referrers can earn 2,000 miles as well.

Price Offered for the Vehicle by JCM (Including Tax)

Less than JPY 100,000 = 1,000 miles
JPY 100,000-999,999 = 2,000 miles
JPY 1,000,000-1,999,999 = 3,000 miles
1,000 miles for every additional JPY 1,000,000 thereafter
Referrer Miles = 2,000 miles

*

Only the person who is named as the owner or user of the vehicle on the vehicle inspection certificate and family members who live with said person are eligible for mileage accrual.
*

Cannot be used in conjunction with other benefits.
*

Referrers will only accrue referrer miles if they introduce a vehicle seller to JCM and that person finalizes a vehicle sale contract.
*

Both the contracted seller and the referrer can accrue referrer miles if they are both ANA Mileage Club members. However, in this case the referrer cannot be the contracted seller's spouse or a family member who lives with them.
*

Referrer miles can only be accrued when the vehicle's final selling price is at least JPY 100,000.

When Purchasing Vehicles

Miles are accrued according to the used vehicle purchase price listed by the "Car Benefit" partner dealer.

Purchasing from JCM (Used Vehicle Purchases from "Car Benefit" Partner Dealers)

JPY 300,000-499,000 = 2,000 miles
JPY 500,000-999,999 = 3,000 miles
JPY 1,000,000-1,999,999 = 4,000 miles
JPY 2,000,000 or more = 6,000 miles
