Why Japanese used vehicles are popular in overseas markets

Export of Japanese used vehicles has already reached $7 billion business in
2007. Despite the high cost of transport, the sale of used vehicles to other
countries is still profitable in Japan due to the relatively low cost and
good condition of the vehicles being purchased here.

Contributing factors to the viability of the vehicles for export include
strict inspection tests in Japan, strict environmental laws in Japan that
make vehicle disposal expensive in Japan.

The most popular destinations for used vehicles from Japan are Russia, New
UAE, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Australia, Ireland, Chile, Pakistan, Peru,
Kenya, Singapore, Magnolia and South Africa.
