  • Used car in Japan for sale - Buying cheap used cars in Japan! There are thousands of cheap used cars in Japan. In today’s video, I will talk about what you need to know when buying used car in Japan, the challenges of the Hanko (personal stamp), paperwork, and other cultural requirements that don't always make sense to foreigners. Lastly, I will share with you about my 15-year relationship with Gulliver's Used Car Dealership Branch in Kyotanabe.

  • @debbie1247
    @debbie1247 Před rokem +2

    Just found your channel. Very useful and informative. I did think a damaged hanko would be impossible to replace. Better to have one that can be reproduced should that ever be necessary. Unless they would allow you to register a different hanko but that seems unlikely given all the roadblocks you outlined.

  • @iracema1
    @iracema1 Před 2 lety +4

    In the States, I think that the average buyer (not me) trades-in their car on a whim, sort of the classic "emotional" sale. Dealers here have to make sure a prospect never leaves the lot before their buzz dissipates. Therefore they can do everything, including title and insurance, even on a weekend, on the spot so you get that car "today". Hence this emotional play is what gives used-car salesmen their bad name. In Japan, the bureaucracy involved could never be driven by an emotional high, so they use that nasty and expensive bi-annual exam to motivate people to upgrade.

    • @MikeMatsuno
      @MikeMatsuno  Před 2 lety +2

      Very interesting! I never thought about the car "today" concept, but makes perfect sense. Thank you for sharing! Do used car dealerships ever offer some kind of warranty on their cars?

    Lots of great info, and I've been dealing with Gulliver's the past few days on trying to get a used Mazda CX-5. However... they are asking me about a Japanese guarantor since I don't yet have permanent residency. I own my own house outright and that's still not enough for them. However, I don't have any Japanese friends close enough to ask to be my guarantor. My company will lease a car to me, but there are several terrible reasons I don't want to do that: 1) it's a lease, not a purchase, 2) it's 35,000/month -- much too expensive for what I'd get, 3) it's a small, economical type vehicle -- I don't get to choose what I get -- but I'm over 186cm tall.
    Right now, I'm at a loss as to what to do. It's pretty lame that I can't even get a small auto loan for a secondhand car.

    short answer. Try not to buy a car in Japan because the total cost of ownership is astronomical. The rules encourage people to abandon usable cars. As I travel around I see multiple abandoned vehicles daily.

    Or try to take your business somewhere else that does not require an insecure hanko. Make a big deal about the absurdity of the rules before you tell them that you will try to find another competitor.
    Maybe you don't find another dealer without a hanko and you have to use it; but we all need to push back a little to get the businesses to talk about it. They will not change until it hurts business enough
