 why buy a japanese import
In recent years, there has been a huge increase in the number of people buying imported Japanese cars.  There are good reasons behind this growing interest.  In many cases Japanese Imports are:
  • Exciting models that are not available in the UK.
  • Equipped with more extras and higher specification interiors.
  • Cheaper than local equivalent models.
  • In better condition with lower mileage than local models of equivalent age.

It makes sense that vehicles made for the Japanese domestic market will be of the highest specification, maintained to the highest standards and be available in greater number and variety.  Therefore, importing used cars from Japan is a viable and sensible thing to do.

 Why are cars from Japan such good value?

Japanese cars are cheaper to buy new in Japan, than in the UK.

When a vehicle is first registered in Japan, it comes with a 3 year Shaken. This is the equivalent to the British MOT. When it expires, the vehicle must be re-tested. This is the most stringent test of this type in the world. The cost for this retest is around £1250. Further re-tests are required every two years and usually cost more. Sometimes as much as £2000. There are Japanese dealer incentives offering excellent deals to encourage consumers to always trade up for a new car. as a result, Japanese consumers buy new cars on a regular basis. (8 million new units per annum in Japan. 2 million in the UK).

Used car values depreciate rapidly in Japan. Also, due to the high expense of driving long distances in Japan, cars only tend to cover very low mileages per annum. All of the above points amalgamate to make quality Japanese cars very attractive for import For all cars we import, as part of the on the road cost - We fit a UK Specification fog-light with quality switch and loom. We deal with all SVA requirements & testing for cars we supply, and have a 100% success rate.

In Japan, no salt is used on the majority of roads during winter. When you are offered a car described as "UK car", lookout for higher mileage, rust beginning to appear, and low specification.
