2. Millage, Year
First, you have to check millage.
In Japan, cars driving in Japan are obliged to be inspected their condition once every two years by law.
Because of this, even though the millage is long, there will be no big problem in terms of safety.
However, millage effects the price of car.

If you want to buy a good car and have enough budget, how about choosing a car with short millage?
Years is also one of the most important aspect.
If the age is old, the millage tends to be long, and as a result, it will be cheaper than others.
However, sometimes there are young cars with long millage.
Such condition may indicate that the cars are managed carefully and kept in good condition for a long time.
3. Steering

It means that most of Japanese used cars have their handle in right side.
If you live in a left side traffic country, Japanese cars may be useful for your drive.
4. Displacement

If the amount of displacement is large, the car has large power.
