Compared to American used car, Japanese used car is newer with lower mileage. According to statistical research, Japanese used cars have an average age of 7.56 years, while cars form the UE and USA have an average age of 8.4 years and 8.1 years respectively.

Because Japanese cars are newer and with lower mileage, it means that Japan used cars are in better condition that those from other countries. Ordinary Japanese walks an average of 5.4 kilometers in a day. This is because the neighborhoods in Japan are very near stores, malls, schools, libraries and stations. So whenever they would go to supermarkets to buy groceries, they would leave their car at home and just walk

Japan used cars are also well-maintained. The government sees to it that the cars are roadworthy 3 years after it has been bought as brand new. The roadworthiness test is then repeated every 2 years. Thus, the cars in Japan are maintained by the owners, whether they want to or not.

Japan is the largest automobile exporter country in the world. Compared to the USA, Japan besides the passenger cars and SUV, also exports buses to almost all over the world. Japanese buses are very popular in the world for the strength, power, durability, and long life. All transportation companies use only Japanese buses or majority of Japan buses.
