Why buy a Japanese used car? |
|
Japan's cars are renowned for their quality engineering (think of all the famous Japanese motor brands you know), and good value and reliability. Japanese drivers are careful to maintain their car cosmetically and mechanically so virtually all cars put up for auction are in great condition. Japanese cars are usually equipped with many options so you'll find things like air conditioning, power steering, power windows, air bags, ABS, and more, come with the car. The Japanese Government has a very strict car safety system which increases the cost of ownership over time. Any car over five or six years old becomes very expensive to test and service so drivers prefer to buy new cars and put the old one up for auction. |
Condition of a used Japanese car |
|
Used Japanese cars are virtually all low mileage and the mileage can be relied on. It would actually be pretty hard to find a car in Japan that had done 12000 miles per year and its rare to find a car with more than 60,000 km (37,500 miles) on the clock. Heavy traffic, thousands of traffic lights and Japanese drivers' careful driving habits make fast driving impractical so most cars have almost certainly never been driven hard, and owners generally keep their cars very clean and well serviced as the car safety test is very strict. In general Japanese drivers are very careful of their cars and keep both the interior and engine in good condition. Therefore cars put up for auction in Japan are not only a good deal but also in very good condition. |
