Where did you go?

Enjoy having to pay out of the ass to have a car older than 10 years.

Probably not Tokyo, I went there for a week and it was just all bland Toyotas

You read this on the internet didnt you? You do pay a higher tax on an older vehicle but its not much. Dont believe every blog post you read, nerd.

In Japan not everyone drives a car. This is because driving can be expensive. Gasoline is more expensive here than in any country so just starting up your car will cost you more. On top of that there are very expensive toll roads that connect cities or parts of cities. Probably the most overlooked is the cost of parking. You are not even allowed to own a car unless you rent a parking spot. This can cost anywhere from 10000 – 25000 yen per month. Next is insurance which is not really that expensive (5000 yen per month). And last is the big killer shakken. This is a vehicle check to make sure your vehicle is road worthy. By law anything that is wrong with your vehicle must be replaced or fixed. This sounds realistic until you see the price. You will pay 120000 – 160000 yen for a mid size car every two years. This price is dependant on the engine size so a bigger engine will cost more as well.

Great job OP.

8/10 bait since you got called out twice

They're looking to steal that car, look at the driver's face

>around blacks never relax

This poster is correct. Though he left out the near $3000 most Japanese pay to get their license (well, the driving class that they feel you "need" to pass the test).

>>15383838
This poster is incorrect. I'd venture he's never owned a car in Japan.

There is a reason that one almost never sees older cars in Japan... and why Australia has tons of cheap used Japanese autos. Shakken is top of that list of reasons.
