| 7. |
Why do Japanese people trade their vehicles in so early? |
|
Many Japanese drivers love their vehicles and cannot wait to change their vehicle for the new shape models. Most models undergo change of shapes every five years. Also, the registration system here in Japan is very expensive, at an average cost of US$1,200 per year.
After 9 years it does not become worth the cost to register such a vehicle. Therefore many Japanese drivers prefer to change to new models. [Back To Top] |
|
| 8. |
Why is mileage(KM) so low? |
|
Many Japanese people travel to work on the train or bus, and there are very few parking spaces in Japan. Therefore it is not convenient to drive to work. Besides, the train systems in Japan are so efficient you can set your watch by the train timetables.
Since many Japanese employees work late, there is not much chance to drive their vehicles during the weekdays. That leaves only the weekends to enjoy driving their vehicles. The average Japanese car travels approx. 8,000km per year. [Back To Top] |
