Japan Used Cars (carsensor.net)

Japanese used-car listings — price, year, mileage, repair history, inspection status and selling-dealer info — from carsensor.net, one of Japan's largest used-car marketplaces, in a clean English schema.

This Actor searches carsensor.net's public used-car listings by maker and prefecture and returns each vehicle as English-schema JSON: maker (Japanese + English), model and grade, base vehicle price and total payment in JPY, first-registration year, mileage in km, engine displacement, transmission, repair-history flag (修復歴), inspection (車検) expiry, color, body type, and the selling dealer's business name, city and prefecture. With detailFetch it adds drive type, engine type (hybrid/EV/…), steering side, seats, doors and the dealer's business address from each vehicle's detail page. Optional client-side filters narrow by model keyword, price window (万円) and year window.

Japan's used-car market is a major export source (JDM icons, hybrids, kei trucks), but carsensor.net is Japanese-only — invisible to most international tooling. This Actor is the bridge.

Unofficial tool. Not affiliated with or endorsed by Recruit Co., Ltd. or carsensor.net. It collects publicly available data only (no login, no paywall), politely (strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, hard per-run budget, no block evasion), and extracts factual data only — vehicle facts and dealer business identity; no review content, no dealer marketing prose, no personal data of any kind (relevant e.g. under GDPR: no personal data is collected or processed). Users are responsible for ensuring their own use of the data complies with the source site's terms and applicable law.

Who is this for?

• Used-car exporters & overseas dealers — source JDM vehicles by maker, model, price and repair history before they hit the auctions; the repair-history flag (修復歴) and inspection status are exactly the fields export buyers check first.
• Market & price analysis — used-car price levels by model, year and mileage across all 47 prefectures; a public-listing alternative to closed auction-sheet data.
• Automotive SaaS & valuation tools — feed live Japanese retail asking prices into pricing models.
• Data teams — a stable English schema over a Japanese-only source.

prefecture is required (JIS code, Japanese or English name). maker is optional and applied upstream (supported: Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Daihatsu, Isuzu, Mitsuoka, Hino, Mitsubishi Fuso, UD Trucks, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche, Mini, Volvo, Peugeot, Renault, Citroen, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Abarth, Jeep, Chevrolet, Ford, Cadillac, Dodge, Chrysler, Tesla, Jaguar, Land Rover, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, McLaren, Lotus, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Smart, Opel, DS, Alpine, Saab, BYD, Hyundai, Kia — Japanese names work too). model, priceMin/priceMax (万円 = 10,000 JPY units) and yearMin/yearMax filter client-side.

Pricing

Pay per result — see the pricing tab. A maker × prefecture query is typically hundreds to thousands of vehicles upstream; maxItems caps what you take.

FAQ

Where does the data come from? Live from carsensor.net's public, login-free static list and vehicle detail pages at run time. Every record embeds the source, source URL, a license note, and the retrieval timestamp.

Is this an official carsensor.net / Recruit service? No. Unofficial, independently built and maintained, and not affiliated with or endorsed by Recruit Co., Ltd. It reads only publicly available pages.

Are reviews or dealer marketing texts included? No. Dealer review scores/texts and reviewer names are never extracted, and neither is dealer marketing prose (sales copy, catch-phrases, photo captions) — deliberately: review prose is user-generated copyrighted content, and marketing copy stays on the source site. The output is strictly factual vehicle data plus the dealer's business identity (name/address — business information, not personal data). Phone numbers are never collected.

Who is responsible for how the data is used? You are. The Actor collects publicly available factual data politely, but the legality of your specific use (redistribution, database rights, the source site's terms) is your responsibility as the user.

Are prices accurate? Prices are what carsensor.net advertised at retrieval time: priceJpy is the base vehicle price, totalPaymentJpy the advertised total payment including fees. They change constantly — treat them as a snapshot, and re-run for fresh data.

What about server load? Strictly serial requests, ≥1.2 s apart, ~30 vehicles per list page, one extra request per vehicle detail (opt-in), hard per-run request budget (max 60), exponential backoff, no CAPTCHA/login/block evasion. If carsensor.net changes its page format, the Actor stops with a clear error instead of silently mis-parsing; if it blocks persistently, the run fails visibly.
