Japanese Used Cars

The popularity of Japanese used cars is undeniable. Not only are they affordable and reliable but they are also often eco-friendly as well as fuel efficient and the vast selection of vehicles available makes them attractive to individuals and businesses alike.

Are used Japanese cars reliable?

A 2021 Consumer reports survey had Japanese car brands dominating the Top 10 brand reliability rankings.

There are several factors that make Japanese vehicles some of the most reliable vehicles worldwide. For one, the Japanese work culture is one “kaizen” or constant improvement. The philosophy of kaizen is regarded as the heart and soul of the Japanese work culture and the practicality of said philosophy can be seen in the steadfast self improvement of some known and well-loved Japanese automobile brands.

Japan also has strict regulations about cars on the road and because of this, the Japanese people often trade in their older models every 3 to 4 years making it so that the Japanese used cars are fairly used and mostly still in good shape by the time they hit the used cars market. They also have a culture of taking pride in caring for one’s possession and this also subtly influences the quality of Japanese used cars in the market.

Japanese used cars also come with another significant advantage – quality assurance. Before being sold on international market, cars are carefully inspected by authorized dealers in Japan. This ensures that buyers get access to a wide selection of roadworthy and safe vehicles. In addition, before purchase, prospective buyers are often given the inspection sheet which enables you to spot the flaws in the car you are purchasing and enables you to make better decisions

One other benefit of buying Japanese vehicles is the availability of spare parts. Since Japanese car brands are famous worldwide, getting spare parts is relatively easy and affordable as well.
