These cars are hard to find in Japan anymore. Toyotas in particular can be driven without any problems even if they have exceeded 100,000 km or 500,000 km. However, in Japan, taxes go up after 13 years from the date of manufacture. Without this system, more people in Japan would drive old cars for a long time. The owner of this car would probably still be driving it if this system did not exist.

@waldevv2 ай бұрын
Wow, it's basically the exact opposite where I live. The average age of the cars on the road currently is around 13 years because new cars are extremely expensive due to the taxes basically doubling/tripling the sale price, so almost everyone drives old cheap cars. The annual taxes are sort of based on emissions etc. so they would be less on a newer car but for most people it's straight up impossible to afford even a base model new car with financing. In a way people driving older cars are getting punished more with increasing fuel prices and higher taxes etc. but new cars are so expensive, so people just have no choice. My newest car currently is from 2006
