Q:Can you ship a car from Japan to the USA?
Get a Price Quote For Your Shipment The cost to import a car from Japan to USA starts around $2000+ per car. The price for importing a car from Japan will depend on the type of vehicle, the shipment type chosen for ocean transit, and the distances from the origin and destination ports.
Q:Why is a car from Japan so cheap?
Japan has some of the most competitive new vehicle costs in Asia and the rest of the globe. This is due to Japan's vast economy, which allows for ``scale economies,'' as well as the fact that automobiles made locally do not need to be shipped as far for sale.
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.
