Andes JDM | Specialty Car Broker
Connecting Chile’s Elite Inventory with Specialized US Dealers & Collectors.

Founder's Vision: The Andes JDM Story
I founded Andes JDM in early 2026, bridging a gap I identified during my five years living in the Los Angeles Metro Area and Orange County. As a global logistics consultant with over a decade of experience and a lifelong passion for classic vehicles, I recognized a unique business opportunity: the untapped potential of the Chilean market to supply the growing demand for rust-free, Left-Hand Drive (LHD) vintage icons & classics in the United States.
Central Chile’s semi-arid Mediterranean climate preserves vehicles in a way few places on earth can, offering 'survivor' units that are mechanically sound and aesthetically pristine. However, the complexity of cross-border transactions often keeps these gems locked in local markets.
Andes JDM was born to break those barriers. We provide a professional, transparent, and high-efficiency brokerage service that connects elite Chilean Car Boutiques with specialized US Dealers and Collectors. By leveraging my expertise in international trade and my deep understanding of both cultures, I have built a secure 'Pacific Bridge' that transforms local inventory into liquid global assets.
My mission is simple: to ensure that every transaction is as reliable as the Japanese engineering we export, backed by secure Escrow payments and direct, cost-effective shipping from the Ports of Valparaíso and San Antonio—the strategic heart of South Pacific trade.

✓ Our 4-Pillar Verification Process
💰 Financial Security via Escrow.com
We utilize the world's most secure payment platform. Funds are held in a neutral third-party account and only released to the seller once the shipping documents (Bill of Lading) are verified. No payment risk, no uncertainty.
🔍 Neutral Technical Audits
Every unit undergoes a professional150-point Pre-Purchase Inspection (PPI) by independent specialists in Santiago. Full transparency on engine compression, chassis integrity, and original parts.
📸 Comprehensive Digital Dossier
High-definition photo and video documentation, including "cold start" videos, road test, and undercarriage inspections, ensuring no surprises upon arrival.
📋 Andes JDM Export-Ready Certification
We handle the "Title Report" and certified ownership history, ensuring every vehicle is 100% compliant with US Customs (25-year rule) and ready for immediate interstate registration.
How It Works: FAQ & Legal
We've streamlined the international acquisition process. Every step documented, verified, and secured through industry-leading protocols.
Secure Milestone Payments via Escrow.com
We eliminate financial exposure by utilizing a neutral third-party custody (Escrow). No funds are handled directly by intermediaries; your capital is protected under a professional disbursement schedule:
  • Funding: The buyer secures the total vehicle value in the Escrow account.
  • Milestone 1 (Title Transfer): A portion is released once the Chilean title transfer and the Export-Ready Certification are verified.
  • Milestone 2 (On-Board): The final balance is released only upon receipt of the Bill of Lading (B/L), confirming the vehicle has been cleared by Customs and is physically on the vessel.
Export Invoice = Your US Title Base
The Chilean Export Invoice is the supreme legal instrument of ownership in international trade. Issued directly in your dealership’s name (or individual name), it is fully recognized by US Customs & Border Protection (CBP) and DMV agencies nationwide. We provide a comprehensive "Closing Folder," including the Apostilled Bill of Sale, ensuring a seamless title conversion and registration process in any US state.
25-Year Rule = 100% Legal
All vehicles meet federal 25-year import exemption requirements. EPA and DOT compliant. No gray areas—fully legal for US registration in all 50 states.
Brokerage Fees & Structure
We operate under a Double-End Fixed Fee model, ensuring absolute neutrality and alignment between both parties. This structure eliminates hidden costs and guarantees our commitment to a transparent transaction.
📊 Tiered Service Model
Our fees are organized into strategic tiers based on the asset's market valuation and the required logistical complexity.
🤝 Shared Responsibility
To maintain 100% objectivity, brokerage fees are shared between the sourcing party and the acquiring dealer.
📋 Bespoke Quotations
Detailed fee schedules and brokerage terms are disclosed upon formal inquiry or the initiation of a scouting mandate.
