PR Friend Press Releases

Hyogo, Japan, ( Prfriend ) December 13, 2008 – “When you have a glance at the used Japan car sales, you will be really surprised to see thousands of used cars for sale in top notch condition. I have even seen people ask ‘do the Japanese car owners buy new cars every month and sell the a month old cars?’”, says Mr. Shinichi Doi of Exportjapancars.com

“The law in Japan is that you have to get your car inspected in its 3rd year and then every 2 years after that. The price of inspection is set by the government and rises exponentially based on the age of the car, and you have to pay for any repairs to even unimportant parts of the car. It means that you will have to pay for the repaired cigarette lighter in your car even if you don’t smoke. This law keeps the entire Japanese vehicle in top condition.”

He added that, “After 5 years or so it becomes cheaper to buy a new car in Japan than to pay the inspection fee. As Japanese car owners tend to take very good care of their cars, there will be lots of used cars for sale in really nice condition. This make the used car buyer get a good condition car at a very cheap price”. When asked about the effect of current economy condition on the Japanese used car market, Mr. Shinichi Doi said, “The current economic slowdown has made many people come towards the used car market. While many people cannot afford to buy a new car today, the Japanese used cars will be a better option to them. Since there are no import taxes associated with used Japan cars, anyone can buy an used car directly from Japan with ease.”

He concluded that “It is not uncommon to save up to 30% when you buy a used car directly from Japan when compared to making the purchase locally from your home country.”

Growing number of consumers opting to trade-in gas-guzzlers for used vehicles

Wallingford, CT – September 4, 2008 – As Americans watch gasoline prices rise, consumers are moving away from their luxury cars and large SUVs for more fuel efficient vehicles. While some consumers are waiting for more hybrid cars to hit the showrooms and marketplace, others are buying what they believe are fuel efficient used cars.

According to Connecticut Better Business Bureau President, Paulette Hotton Scarpetti, it is time to remind people about an important checklist when shopping for a used vehicle.

“Information is power in the hands of a consumer. Used car buyers should learn all they can to save time and money, and prevent problems that can turn a good idea into a nightmare. If a consumer walks into a used-car lot uninformed, what was a good, money-saving idea could end up eating away the savings if the car is a lemon.”

There are several rules of thumb for used vehicle buyers relating to selection of a seller, selecting the car and financing. One of the most important is, if you have your eye on a particular vehicle, pay a trusted mechanic to inspect the car. The extra out-of-pocket expense may save you money down the road if major problems are discovered.

Connecticut BBB offers the following tips for used car buyers:

Do your homework: The Internet can be an invaluable tool for researching and comparing a particular vehicle’s reviews as a used car. Shop for a car that can deliver many miles on a gallon.

Give the car a once-over: A used car inspection can tell many stories about its history and reliability and always should be made in daylight, to ensure you can see any dents, paint defects cracks and other imperfections. Check the accelerator and brake pedal for signs of wear. If they are excessively worn on a car with “low mileage,” the odometer may have been tampered with to turn back the mileage. Also examine the ease with which windows, doors and the trunk open and close. Problems with these may indicate collision or body damage.

Test drive: If the car meets your standards, it is time to go for a test drive. Make a series of stops, starts and turns at different speeds. Drive over rough road and listen carefully for any noises such as clunking and rattling. Never purchase a vehicle without first driving it.

Know the law: If you are buying from a used car dealership, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Used Car Rule requires the dealer to post a window sticker disclosing terms of warranty, information on the availability of service contracts, a suggestion the buyer have the vehicle inspected and that the dealer put all promises in writing;

Many complaints to BBBs from used car buyers concern problems found during inspection, and they received only verbal promises from salespeople that the problems would be fixed. Because the commitments were not put in the written sales contract, however, the repairs were often not carried out and the customer was left with no recourse.

If the car is sold with a statement specifying the car is being sold “as is,” this means the consumer must pay for any repairs needed after purchase.

Shop around for financing: Go to several financial institutions with the seller’s proposed purchase and finance contract. This is when a high credit score can result in lower financing interest rates. Compare the annual percentage rate, required down payment and length of the repayment period.

Finally, don’t shop alone when selecting a used vehicle. A second set of eyes and ears can help you uncover any red flags about a particular vehicle, and improve your chances of making a purchase which will pay for itself in gasoline savings.
