Exporting a Honda Acty to Saint Lucia
The Initial Inquiry
Location: Minchy’s Princess Trading Office, Japan
Minchy receives an email from Mr. Samuel, a buyer from Saint Lucia, inquiring about a small commercial vehicle for his island business.
Hello Minchy, I’m interested in purchasing a Honda Acty for my delivery business in Saint Lucia. Could you provide more information on availability and the pricing?
Minchy reviews her inventory and finds a Honda Acty 2017 model, which has a low mileage of 40,000 km and is in excellent condition. She prepares a reply.
Hello Mr. Samuel, thank you for your inquiry! We have a 2017 Honda Acty in great condition with only 40,000 km. The price for this vehicle is 450,000 JPY, and the shipping cost to Saint Lucia would be an additional 120,000 JPY. Please let me know if you’re interested or need further details.
Negotiation and Discussion
Location: Virtual Meeting – Video Call
Minchy and Mr. Samuel connect via video call to discuss the deal further.
Thank you for the details, Minchy. The Acty looks perfect for my needs, but I was hoping we could work out a better price. Since this would be my first order, I was hoping for a discount.
(Confidently smiling) I understand, Mr. Samuel. The price of 450,000 JPY is already very competitive for the condition and mileage of this vehicle. However, since you’re just starting your business, I can offer a 20,000 JPY discount, bringing the price to 430,000 JPY. Does that sound reasonable?
That sounds fair. I can agree to the new price of 430,000 JPY. Let’s move ahead with this!

Minchy prepares the final contract and invoice for Mr. Samuel, sending it over for his review and confirmation.
Mr. Samuel, I’ve sent over the updated contract and invoice with the new price of 430,000 JPY. Please review and confirm when everything looks good. Once confirmed, I will proceed with the payment and shipping arrangements.
(Emails back promptly) Everything looks great, Minchi. I will proceed with the payment today.

Great! I’m looking forward to receiving it. Thanks for your assistance, Minchy.
