Where cars go to really high mileage? Some of them buy for a pittance pereprodavtsy yaponomorskogo from the coast of Japan, which then restores them, often skruchivayut runs and sold for export from its parking lots. Japan - a country with one of the longest road in the world, the total length of more than 1.2 million kilometers, with each year the Japanese managed to increase the length of roads built through the new tunnels, bridges, highways and expressways. For comparison, in Russia a huge total length of paved roads to various estimates ranged from 512 to 590 thousand kilometers.
Japan - the second-largest car market in the world after the United States: about 43 million cars are owned by the Japanese. And up to 70% of the fleet is in the hands of urban dwellers. It would seem that under such circumstances, Japan should hold a lot of time behind the wheel. But in fact the average Japanese avtovladelets relatively little time preferred driving. And the reason is simple life guidelines, which the Japanese society.
Japanese families are usually on two cars, one of them the head of a family traveling in the morning to work and back at night, while the second Japanese vozyat children in school and go to the store. That is the average picture. That is, if the Japanese do not use the car as a "workhorse", the route described triangle "work - a house - shop and all in the city.
Japanese long-distance travel through different well-developed network of railways. Just because it is cheaper and can relax in comfort on the road. But, leaving on a trip to prefer the services of tour operators, a rare burden on luggage and hotel reservations, and the miscalculation of amounts of gasoline. Few outside Japan are aware that the Japanese have for the most part, prefer to travel groups. This again is simply cheaper.
Turning to the objective facts of the documentary, one can find that the structure of demand for cars in Japan for years remained without a significant change: at the top lines are kept midget cars with an engine volume of 1.0 - 1.5 liters. In support of this is the top selling car in Japan for 2006 and 2005. This Toyota Vitz and Honda Fit. The small city cars - the most popular vehicles in Japan. Toyota Corolla, and its series of cars are generally the most in demand. And this is a typical city car. Demand in this case is an objective reflection of the style of society.
How much, on average, per year nakruchivayut Japanese motorists? Intrigued this topic, we conducted a survey at several Japanese Internet avtoforumah, which revealed that an average of 12-15 year Japanese proezzhayut square kilometers. Information obtained during interviews, and data confirmed auction of two years.
Why auction statistics? To date, most mass marketing channels of Japanese used cars are the car auctions. For the analysis, we have 1.3 million cars, which were sold at avtoauktsionah Japan over the past year. Operating data of the statistics, we can judge the average mileage of Japanese cars. After reviewing the alleged runs more than 66 000 vehicles specific brands, including Toyota Mark II, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Forester, Honda CR-V, Honda Accord, Mitsubishi Pajero, Nissan X-trail, Suzuki Escudo, Toyota Land Cruiser, etc. ., with 18 brands (selected cars were produced in 2000, 2001 and 2002) has been able to establish that the average mileage, regardless of the type of car body ranges from 11-16 thousand kilometers. These data confirm the information received from the Japanese themselves.
Here arises the second question: Where деваются vehicles with high mileage? These machines get into the auction statistics, however, as can be seen, have poor grades. Since this is "working machine", ie taxis, cars, used razvozchikami, business machines, etc. The percentage of these vehicles according to the Statistical Office of the Department of engineering and road safety at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Japan is less than 20%.
Where cars go to really high mileage? Some of them buy for a pittance pereprodavtsy yaponomorskogo from the coast of Japan, which then restores them, often skruchivayut runs and sold for export from its parking lots. Others go directly under the press.
At the Japanese auctions skrutka mileage prohibited. Allowable distorted version of the actual mileage - the replacement of odometer. But this must be reflected in the documents of the car, and the inspector puts a star in the auction sheet. In other, sometimes the inspector is not convinced of the reality of the journey, which also marked separately in the auction sheet.
In most cases, mileage Japanese cars roll in Russia, this is just 600-800 rubles forge auction sheet does not have a problem. It takes this procedure is fairly straightforward: in Russia arrives broken car, which had already otkatannoy technology throughout one week turns into a beautiful state. Sometimes it is chosen acceptable auction list, which shall be "necessary" adjustments.
So, on the basis of factual information we can conclude: either be a total vseyaponsky conspiracy to skrutke runs coming at an auction of cars, or indeed the Japanese little drive their cars.
