The Russians have brought down Japan’s used car market

The high exchange rate of the ruble and the shortage of new cars have done their job – Russians have become much more active in buying used cars abroad. At least in Japan, where the entire Far East of our country is full of used cars, the excitement has seriously affected the state of the car market there.

According to the authoritative Japanese publication Nikkei, in the Land of the Rising Sun, used cars have risen in price by 25.5% in recent months. As a result, the average price of a used car is now 1,080,000 yen, which is equivalent to half a million Russian rubles.

As one of the brokers in the Far East previously told the AvtoVzglyad portal, Toyota Corolla was the main hit that Russians most actively order in Japan. This machine is reliable, liquid, and after a sharp strengthening of the ruble – moreover, relatively inexpensive.

Toyota Land Cruiser Prado also varies quite a bit. And if most Corollas imported from the Land of the Rising Sun remain in the Far East, then SUVs are literally spreading across the country.

However, the massive invasion of “Japanese women” is only a sign of the new age. The second is the appearance of foreign cars from the Emirates on dealer sites. A simple example is the Mitsubishi Pajero Sport SUVs, designed for the Arab market, which are already on sale in Moscow.
