Japanese Car Market

Car registration system in Japan is called 'Shaken'. It requires a series of safety inspections combined with compulsory insurance, weight and vehicle tax. New cars are sold with 3 years 'Shaken'. After the first 'Shaken' expires it must be renewed every 2 years throughout the ownership of the vehicle. Therefore many Japanese generally sell or part-exchange their cars at the end of 5th or 7th year of ownership as 'Shaken' expires. The cost of renewing the 'Shaken' is relatively high as the Japanese Government's policy is to reduce car ownership due to the limited space available. In fact, the Japanese car owner must prove that he/she has sufficient parking space for each car they register.

Japanese used cars mean quality. The Japanese usually keep their cars in immaculate condition and service them regularly. Also due to the space limitations and highly crowded roads they have a low mileage. All of this means that we can import high quality, high spec cars at prices much lower than those charged for the cars available locally. If you would like to know more about buying a Japanese car direct from Japan we will be happy to answer your questions. Feel free to email us at Japan Car Sales.
