It is REALLY hard for any car, car engine, etc, to go much over 75k in Japan.
Many of these used cars are shipped to other countries, like Australia and New Zealand, where people love the endless supply of cheap, slightly used cars from Japan. You'll find very few cars on the road with more than 100,000 kilometers (66,000 miles). When cars hit about 60,000 kilometers (maybe 40,000 miles), people start to get rid of them. This is the reason why there are so few older cars in Japan. Eventually, if the car stops running well or reaches a certain age (even though it's still a good car), you may have to pay a fee just to get rid of it. However, the fact is that as cars get older, Sha'ken becomes more and more expensive. On the other hand, it helps insure that your vehicle is well maintained, so you're much less likely to have it breakdown in between. During the Sha'ken process certain repairs must be made, and it can get very expensive. The amount of Sha'ken goes up depending on the size, engine size and age of the vehicle. Sixth, and last, "Sha'ken" (mentioned just above) must be paid every two years on older cars. In case you are interested, the name of the dealers is "Kelly's" and they are located next to Yokota Airforce Bases (and they speak English very well there). Our dealer came with very high recommendations, or we wouldn't have been so trusting. Our dealer handled all of this, so after some faxing back and forth and about a week of waiting, we showed up with the money and picked up the car. You should get additional insurance to adequately cover your liability in case of an accident. In addition to taxes, you must pay for insurance and a mandatory inspection (called "Sha'ken"). When you buy a car in Japan, you must pay various fees. they however, only warranty the motor and internals, no bolt on stuff.įifth, we appreciated the benefit of having the dealer handle all the paperwork and other requirements. has all timing belts and stuff still on them.
#Subaru jdm motors install
their motors are complete and ready to install they say. Email me if you're serious.looks like you are, but I'll run through what I got and we'll talk that way. Their motors are not likely coming with timing belt gear and head gaskets, so we can hash that out. I can certainly match whatever price they give you. They offered to send me two new head gaskets It was a good deal, but I'll pass on doing that again when there are plenty of other options. I've gotten a JDM engine with bad head gaskets before, fun, fun. Without quantitative proof i would not assume it's got any new updated gaskets. That being said, it's still the same motor with the same head gaskets. Low mileage isn't necessarily a great thing, that can mean lots of short trips which fall under harsh conditions and require more frequent oil changes because it's not good for the engine. Moneypit - yes i've heard that before too about mileage - i've heard it's an emissions mandated thing.
