If you have a Japanese model vehicle, ask us for details about our low mileage used motors from Japan.  These engines are imported from Japan and shipped to California to be factory tested before distribution. They are a good option to consider when replacing your engine. 

These used engines are available from Japan because of a combination of factors. The first is that since the country is an island, the climate in Japan causes cars to rust out in a very short time. Secondly, Japan has a strict bi-annual inspection of nearly 50 systems and components ( including visual condition) and repair costs are extremely high. Lastly, tax on Japanese vehicles increases as the car gets older.  As a result of these factors, vehicles in Japan suffer from quick depreciation and it becomes cheaper to replace a used car rather than continue its maintenance. These laws were most likely initiated to reduce their vehicle population problem without reducing new vehicle sales in the Japanese domestic market. This has had a positive effect on many aspects of the automotive industry, including increased new car sales, lower production cost, technological advancement of new models, improved air quality, and safety.

Since many Japanese cars are recycled long before their American equivalent, it is easy to see why high quality low mileage Japanese motors are readily available on the US market.
