• Due to Japan’s dense cities and excellent public transportation, cars are driven less frequently. Fuel and toll costs are also much higher than in Canada, contributing to lower odometer readings.
  Note: Some enthusiast vehicles may have odometer changes (e.g., cluster swaps or upgrades). We review and translate auction sheets carefully to disclose any such details.

• Japanese drivers tend to prefer new vehicles due to cultural and government incentives. On top of that, the Shaken inspection system is extremely strict, requiring cars to be in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition. Rather than pay for repairs, many owners choose to auction their vehicles—which fuels Japan’s massive export market.
