Buying cars in Japan can be cost-effective due to the robust car auction system, ample dealer stock, and low import costs. The best time to buy is when significant discounts are offered at the end of the financial year. Auto Trader Imports and Car Exports are recommended platforms for car purchases, offering a wide variety of cars and detailed information about depreciation, road tax, and other factors. The best areas to buy include Tokyo, Yokohama, and Osaka. Despite the low import costs, potential buyers should consider additional costs such as shipping fees, import duties, and modifications for local regulations.
