Best Buy Used Cars in Japan

2013 is a brand new year, and for many of us saving money remains a top priority. One of the most practical moves you can do to achieve this is to buy used cars in Japan. Exporters will provide you with good deals on reliable, well-maintained vehicles that are predicted to offer a great value for your money. Look out for these models and see which one meets your needs and fits within your budget.

Kia Rio
The 2011 Rio is one of your best bets if you’re looking for a supermini. For less than fifteen thousand dollars, you can have a solidly-engineered car that has a fuel economy of 28 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. The basic warranty covers five years, so if you get one this year, you get the warranty as well.

Mazda 2
Aiming for a Ford Fiesta but lacking in budget? Why not go for the Mazda 2 instead? It shares a chassis, shares many of the Fiesta’s qualities, and is a lot more affordable—price ranges from a little more than four thousand to thirteen thousand dollars. The top pick in this line is the 1.5-liter engine Mazda 2 Sport, which costs about nine thousand dollars in the secondhand-car market.

Toyota Yaris
If you’re looking for this used car in Japan, ask for the Toyota Vitz. This supermini carries the Toyota standard for reliability and fuel economy. It’s simple yet sporty and can be had for a little more than five thousand dollars (2008 model).

Volkswagen Golf
If you think your growing family needs a little more space, the Volkswagen Golf is a top contender for your attention, especially the 2009 release with 1.4-liter engine. The Golf is a sought-after model because of its sturdy built and safety features. It’s a family car, after all.

Subaru Impreza
Speaking of family cars, the Subaru Impreza is another model you should consider, especially if you’re the outgoing, sporty type. The Impreza impresses with its reliability, spacious interiors, and all-wheel drive. The 2007 Sportswagon variant can be bought for around three thousand dollars, shipping included.

Honda Accord Tourer
If you need to get your family from one grandparent’s house to another, the Tourer can do the job without complaint. Scout for a 2010 release of the Accord 2.2 i-DTEC ES GT model among used cars in Japan; your family will thank you for a smart and practical move.

Volkswagen Touareg
If you’re the type who prefers uneven terrain better than asphalt, the Touareg is for you. This 4x4 (get the 2007!) is similar to the Porsche Cayenne without the hefty price tag. The 2007 release feels exceptionally elegant with its leather seats and it has a navigation system, too.

Honda CR-V
When you think of the SUV segment, the CR-V would probably be on the top of the list. With the new CR-V release, used-car prices are sure to go down, and you can’t do better than getting a CR-V when that happens. It’s a family favorite and a 2009 model release could be yours for a little less than twenty-three thousand dollars.

Buying a used car in Japan and having it shipped to you costs less than buying a new one—and you won’t feel depressed with depreciation, either. Be practical in 2013 with these best buy pre-owned vehicles.
