[QUOTE="vinson, post: 148523, member: 2218"] Well once you have identified the car (and so happens if it is a Japan spec) get a friend of yours who can read Japanese to read the Japan Car Registration Card. You will be able to tell if the car have been registered for everyday use or weekend use. This is rather important as I find that most importers tweak the mileage of the car. Nonetheless, if you get a weekend car, it means that teh car can only be used on the weekends and public holidays. Hence, lower mileage and nicer interior. Furthermore with the expensive toll and parking, cars are rarely used in Japan. The Japanese spec also have other advantages: the built in players are normally from Alpine, and the rear seats can be folded down. UK cars tend to have worned out interior and undercarriage due to salt deposits that occurs during winter. Their mileage is normally on the high side too due to the long distances between locations. But they do have better specs and upholstery as it a very competitive market. Hence, the many promotion of free this and free that. Difficult choice I presume? Dont worry...I was there too. I like what MrSamdol said...take your time. I guess, that is what I advice you too. [/QUOTE]
