A left-hand-drive Aston Martin DBX707 from 2022–23 typically hammers between ¥18.0 million and ¥19.9 million at a Japanese dealer auction. A nearly new 2025 car runs ¥24 million to ¥26 million. The gap is model year and mileage, not options.
We have been sourcing the DBX707 for buyers in the Gulf, where left-hand drive is a legal requirement. Japan is a right-hand-drive country, but a meaningful share of high-end European cars sold here are official left-hand-drive imports, and they come through the same dealer auctions as everything else. Here is what they actually sell for, from the results of the past 12 weekly sales to October 2026.
DBX707 hammer prices by year and mileage#
| Car | Mileage | Auction score | Hammer price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2022–23, left-hand drive | varies | varies | ¥18,000,000 – ¥19,900,000 |
| 2025, left-hand drive | 3,520 km | 6 | ¥24,390,000 |
| 2025, left-hand drive | 715 km | 5 | ¥24,010,000 |
| 2025, left-hand drive | 518 km | S | ¥26,000,000 |
All figures are hammer prices: what the winning bid paid at the auction, before fees and tax. These are actual results, not asking prices.
Why a 2025 car costs ¥5 million more#
The step from a 2022–23 car to a 2025 car is about ¥5–6 million. That is the price of being the second owner of a car that is barely run in. If your buyer's priority is the newest possible car, budget from ¥24 million. If they want a DBX707 at the best price, a 2023 car with moderate mileage is where the value is.
Within the 2025 cars, the spread is driven by mileage and the auction score. The ¥26.0 million car had covered just 518 km and carried score S, the grade auction inspectors give to cars that are effectively new. A score-6 car with 3,520 km sold for ¥1.6 million less.
A worked example: a car offered in October 2026#
In mid-October 2026 a 2025 DBX707 came up with 1,970 km, score 5, left-hand drive, official import, one owner, satin titanium grey paint and around ¥6.6 million of factory options, including carbon-ceramic brakes and 23-inch wheels. The seller's starting price was ¥17.9 million.
Our estimate before the sale was ¥23.0 million to ¥24.5 million. It was registered in March 2025, earlier than the comparable cars above (registered October–December 2025), so it should land a little below them despite the low mileage. The start price is not a guide to the result: sellers often open low to attract bidders.
Left-hand drive: check the sheet, not the listing title#
Every car at a Japanese auction comes with an inspection sheet. The steering position is on it, along with whether the car is an official dealer import or a parallel import. For a Gulf buyer this is the first line to check. A right-hand-drive DBX cannot be registered in Saudi Arabia, the UAE or most of the GCC, however good the price is.

The hammer price is not the FOB#
On a ¥24 million car the extras are larger than most buyers expect, mostly because of tax.
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Hammer price | ¥24,000,000 |
| Auction fee | ¥22,000 |
| 10% consumption tax (on hammer price + auction fee) | ¥2,402,200 |
| Our service fee (1.8% of the hammer price for cars over ¥8M) | ¥432,000 |
| Inland transport to the port | about ¥30,000 |
| FOB, at the Japanese port | about ¥26,890,000 |
At ¥154 to the US dollar that is roughly $175,000 FOB. Ocean freight, insurance and import duty at destination are on top and depend on the port. Our full fee structure is on the pricing page.
Container, not RoRo#
Most buyers ship a car of this value in a container rather than on a RoRo vessel. A container is sealed at the yard in Japan and opened at destination, which keeps the car away from handling on board. For a Jeddah or Dammam delivery, ask for the container rate when you ask for the car.
How to set a bid ceiling for a DBX707#
Decide the model year first: 2022–23 or 2025 is a ¥5 million decision. Then decide the mileage you will accept and the minimum auction score. Take the top of the matching range, add about 12% for tax and fees, and convert at today's rate. That is your ceiling, set before the auction starts.
Frequently asked questions#
Are left-hand-drive DBX707s common in Japan? No. A few appear in a typical quarter. Expect to wait several weeks for a car that matches a specific year, colour and mileage.
Is the auction score reliable on a car this new? The score is given by the auction's own inspector, not the seller. On nearly new cars the scores S, 6 and 5 separate a car that is effectively new from one with light wear.
Can I see the car before bidding? We send the full auction sheet and the auction photos before every bid, and you approve the maximum price in writing.
Do you deliver to my door? We deliver to the port of loading in Japan and arrange shipping to your port. Customs clearance at destination is handled on your side.
