Overview
NEXTAGE (株式会社ネクステージ) is a Japanese used-car retail group. Its core business is the purchase and resale of pre-owned vehicles, both domestic (国産車) and imported (輸入車), through a nationwide network of physical stores and an online search-and-reservation platform at nextage.jp. The website lists tens of thousands of vehicles in stock at any time — the homepage showed 33,074 cars listed as of a September 26 update — and allows customers to search by maker, price band, body type and region, then book a store visit in about 30 seconds. The company positions itself on quality assurance and transparency. It states that it handles zero repaired-history vehicles (修復歴車の取り扱いゼロ), employing specialist buyers by vehicle category who monitor market conditions and select vehicles with attention to grade, options and model-specific issues. Vehicles undergo checks on arrival plus third-party quality inspection, and the company says it does not handle repaired-history, odometer-tampered, flood-damaged or stolen vehicles. Delivery inspections follow strict standards as a double/triple check. NEXTAGE sells under several banners, including NEXTAGE, SUV LAND and UNIVERSE, and also operates authorized imported-car dealerships. Cars sold through NEXTAGE, SUV LAND and UNIVERSE come with free warranties — domestic cars (3 months / 3,000 km) and imported cars (1 month / unlimited mileage). Paid maintenance packages such as Service Support (up to 3 years, covering 401 items for domestic cars and 320 for imports with unlimited mileage), a 10-year warranty, and Nextage Support for older vehicles are offered. The group also runs an insurance agency business, publishing a customer-first business conduct policy for auto insurance sales, and operates through licensed second-hand goods (古物) businesses. The group includes several entities: NEXTAGE Co., Ltd., NEW Co., Ltd. (株式会社NEW), Ai Co., Ltd. (株式会社Ai) and ONE Motooren Co., Ltd. (株式会社ONEモトーレン), each holding prefectural public safety commission licenses under the Second-hand Articles Business Act. NEXTAGE's stated management philosophy is to be a "car-life partner" that enriches people's lives and to be a "car shop loved by everyone" (みんなに愛されるクルマ屋さん).
