Q:What is the 3 year rule for cars in Japan?
Three years after purchase, every new car has to go through an expensive inspection process, and once every two years after that. Furthermore, vehicles older than 10 years have to pass the inspection every year. As a result, most car owners in Japan write off their cars after 10 years and buy new ones.
Q:Why are Japanese import cars so cheap in Australia?
Cost of owning and licensing used vehicles. The biggest factor that makes Japanese cars so cheap to export is the licensing system for used cars in Japan. Once a Japanese car is three years old, it must undergo a rigorous roadworthiness inspection.
Q:Can I bring my US car to Japan?
Can I Bring My Car From the States? Shipping your vehicle to Japan can be very costly and large American cars will not navigate well on Japanese roads due to narrow roads and parking spaces. That being said, you can ship your vehicle to Japan but your vehicle will have to meet strict Japanese emission standards etc.
