We believe that Japan is the best place to buy salvage cars mainly
because cars in Japan are very carefully maintained and the Japanese
roads are renowned to be the best in the world.

Secondly Japanese government discourages people to own cars more
than 5-6 years through a tier based "shaken" (technical car examination)
system - the older the car is the more "shaken" tax you have to pay.

Thirdly Japanese roads indeed are the best in the world. There are a lot
of SUVs in Japan but most of them hardly saw any dirt. Usually,

And lastly repair costs in Japan are very high making customers buying a
new car rather than repairing a damaged car even if it is easily reparable,
has low mileage or in a good technical condition - making Japan a very
attractive salvage car market.
