Why choose JDM?
-If you are going to buy a used car, and your country allows JDM imports, you would be best served to go with a JDM vehicle. JDM vehicles are the most reliable used vehicles in the world bar-none. First of all, Japanese domestic law mandates a very strict 2-year licensing program know as “shaken.” Shaken consists of a 60 point checklist to ensure the safety and mechanical soundness of a car. The second reason JDM vehicles are so reliable is because Japanese people are notoriously meticulous about taking care of their cars. Of course, as with any group of people, this varies from individual to individual, but in general, the average Japanese person is very conscientious about the condition of their vehicle. Thirdly, Japan is a small country and going from point A to point B is usually a shorter distance than in other countries, which tends to keep the number of kilometers very low. It is not uncommon to find a 10 or 15-year-old car with no more than 30 or 40 thousand kilometers on it.
