Buying a Lexus to ship overseas

Hello!

I have a mixed r/Tokyo and r/TokyoTravel question. But this is probably more suitable for here.

I will be around Tokyo in May and since last year during my 2 visits I have been pondering to buy a Lexus LC500 to ship to my home country (Switzerland). The difference in price is enormous the model and brand being pretty rare in Europe, and according to my research I haven’t found considerable drawbacks in doing so.

The only caveat would be that the car should be already matriculated in Japan for more than 6 months, but still be very low mileage (ie: exhibition models). I am not sure what the practice is in Japan (ie: every new model gets a plate automatically? Or only when the owner buys it?)

Now, roll of drums – does anyone know of any Lexus dealership around Tokyo who does this? Maybe someone who expatriated back to Europe?
