Used Japanese Auto Engines - A good Investment?

By: Jim Hutton



Buying a used Japanese automobile engine is generally a wise
investment for those seeking a replacement motor for a vehicle.

In Japan the costs associated with owning and maintaining a car
are extremely high compared to North America. Japanese drivers
endure gasoline prices often 400% higher, and many other costs
associated with vehicle ownership are inflated as well.

Insurance and registration are much more expensive in relative
terms and road tolls and especially parking have prohibitve
costs attached.

In most urban areas costly parking permits must be purchased and
where public parking is available the prices are astronomical.
Space restrictions in Japan result in parking spots costing 200%
and more than in the USA.

The Japanese government also have imposed very restrictive
standards with regard to vehicle testing and safety. It is not
uncommon for cars with minimal cosmetic body damage to be
considered unsafe and due to high labor costs and poor parts
availability, instead of repairs the car and components are
recycled. Very low mileage engines and transmissions then become
available for purchase in pristine condition.

The expenses incurred by Japanese car owners in keeping their
vehicles up to governmental standards prompt many owners to part
with their cars very early and automobiles over 5 or 6 years old
are a rarity.

Because of the expense involved in operating and maintaining a
vehicle in Japan the used engines and transmissions recycled
with very low mileage are highly sought after by those seeking a
replacement engine in other countries, most notably North
America.

Used Japanese engines often have 30,000 miles or less and are a
very shrewd investment for buyers needing a quality engine at a
reasonable price.
