Why buy Japanese Used Cars in this recession?

Sunday, February 1st, 2009

Who doesn’t love to own a car? However, buying a new car may not be affordable to everyone. Especially during the current recession and the bad economy, many people are not even thinking of buying luxuries like a new car.

Most of these people don’t even think about used cars because of the prevalent misconception that used cars will not be of good quality and would require lot of expenses on maintaining them. However, let me tell you, the used cars from Japan are far off this notion. Japanese used cars will be as luxurious as the new ones and also will not require any special maintenance other than what a new car would need. And on top of it, you can buy a used Japanese car for almost half the price you would pay for a new car.

Used cars from Japan are as popular as Left Hand Drive (LHD) cars by Russian automobile makers such as Volga.   As per the latest estimates, Russia has more than 1.5 million RHD vehicles on its roads.  In the far eastern regions of Russia, such as Vladivostok, RHD cars make up to 90% of the total.  Many drivers in this region own cars with right-hand drive imported from Japan.  This includes not only private cars, but also government vehicles, ambulances and police cars.

Why Buy Japanese Used Cars?

Friday, July 18th, 2008

When a person plans to buy a car, he looks for certain quality indicators like the brand image, comfort, efficiency, safety, luxury and the shape or looks of the car.

Every year, numerous models of cars are launched by different car manufacturers all over the world. It may happen that the car models available in your country are either too expensive or lack in various features such as fuel efficiency, comfort and safety. In such cases, it makes sense to import a used car from other country.

In imported used cars, Japanese used cars are the most popular. By Japanese used cars we mean that these cars were manufactured in Japan, used by Japanese owners and then made available to the secondhand car market.  (more…)
