m555Rae >> second hand Jap imports with supposed low mileage (how come the Japanese never use there cars???)

Well that's easy - the FAQ on any import site will tell you why.  Japanese roads are a nightmare (congestion, tolls etc) and their MOT equivalent is very strict and costly.  Hence well maintained older cars with low miles are common as muck.  And they aren't rusty cos Japan doesn't salt the roads.  There are loads of import sites on the net showing selections of older vehicles with low miles.

It true the answer is easy RA95 and yes Japanese roads are

a nightmare. The average annual mileage Japan

is only 5600 miles approximately compared to the UK

being 9000 miles (facts from the internet).

My point in this post was when I was looking

for my Scooby I found it quite hard to find a used UK Scooby that has only done

average annual mileage, yet if I was willing to buy a used Japanese Import it

would have been a lot easer as they all seem to have bang on average miles or

less.  It might just be me but I found this strange that the Japanese

people buy their Scooby’s spend a load of money on trick parts but never use

them. As I’m never out of my car's or off my bike apart from when I’m working

or sleeping apart from when the wife locks me out for spending to much money on

toys..
