Dude this is the exact content on car ownership in Japan i was looking for! Thanks!

[@kylefromjp]

I ‘m really happy to hear that! Hope you will enjoy my other content too! Good day!

As a guy who wants to buy an apartment, move to Sapporo and live there 6 months of the year - this content is hugely helpful. Keep it up my dude 👌🏻👌🏻

@@RammsteinDevoted Glad to hear that…….it’s been a long time since I uploaded the last video….very happy to hear such comment like this!

mate, when i need a new radiator for my subaru outback in australia , i just got on ebay and brought a brand new one for about $100. i did the replacement work myself for free, it only took me an afternoon to do the work.. anyway, enjoyed your video man, keep up the good work, i recon you will get more followers once people start discovering your channel yeah

[@monogramadikt5971]

*i did have to buy new coolant fluid though which added to the overall cost of the swap over, but doing it myself made it a lot cheaper than paying a mechanic or a subura dealership to do the work

[@kylefromjp]

Thank you for your comment ! Honestly I really admire the people who lives in Australia or other western country. Cause from those video I saw on KZbin, it seems like nearly everyone who lives there, know how to fix there own car by their own hand !!!!!!!!!! I wish I can learn that too!!!!!!! In Japan, except the mechanic, only some small groups of car lovers will fix their own car by themself. Normally people will just drive it to the factory....... Subaru outback is a very handsome car !!! I will keep keep up my work!!! >_

@@kylefromjp all the maintenance stuff that ive done i have learnt from watching people on youtube who do their own repairs and film the process bro, that and and finding the pdf versions of service manuals via google search ;)

[@monogramadikt5971]

@@kylefromjp if you search youtube for maintenance videos on your model of mitsubishi you will probably find at least a few basic ones yeah ;)

[@monogramadikt5971]

@@kylefromjp things like oil and fluid changes at least are very easy and you shouldnt have to pay a specialist for that kind of thing

Great Video. Buying a used car in Japan is cheap but keeping it is expensive. For me its seems fair. In my case when I moved to Japan, someone gave me a car for free, a 10 year old 2023 Nissan Latio. As of now, the money that I putted in the car including tire, battery replacement, oil change, annual insurance, title transfer is almost 120,000 yen..and 4 months from now I need to pay the road tax and car inspection fee and is expected to be 180000 yen in total.

Underrated Japanese car video

[@kylefromjp]

hhhhh Thx! I hope my content will help you guys~~~

[@MaruChan82]

Thank for sharing this important information

[@kentcowthe]

Probably the most informative video about car in Japan! Thanks! Did you bring your car from mainland? It is one of the things we are considering to do in order to move our luggage while getting a better deal on a car.

[@kylefromjp]

Thank you for your comment！I'm very glad to hear that! I bought this car in Okinawa. But I will recommend to buy a car from mainland. Cause the average condition of used car in Okinawa is not very well and pretty expensive compare to mainland. Also the vehicle’s chassis will get rust very easily due to the strong salty sea breeze. It will cost some extra money around 400 usd to 800 usd to ship your car from mainland, but i will still recommend it! Hope it’s helpful to you~~~~

[@kentcowthe]

@@kylefromjp thanks for the tip! We will defiantly consider it as a valid option. Hope to bump into you in Okinawa!

[@mikeyaboii8210]

I know nothing about cars, but I originally wanted to get Jimnys for their versatility, but wouldn’t it better to get a hybrid car instead due to fuel costs?

[@bro_math]

Thanks brother Hai Sai

[@JOSECASTRO-yv1co]

Very informative. Thank you! What about hybrid cars? What are the taxes, shaken, etc for hybrid cars?

[@kylefromjp]

They are almost same as the gasoline vehicles. Like anywhere else, Prius is the king lol

[@lTheShieldl]

Just leaving a comment to help you get noticed in the KZbin algorithm.

[@kylefromjp]

Thanks a lot~~ I will do my best to present the best content from my view>_

[@forestkane_]

How about housing i'm moving to Oki this month

[@dr.danchallice3888]

Inspection. Are you talking about the notorious "shaken" ?

[@milesmack6788]

This video is exactly what I was looking, for foreigners with international driving permits, do we have to go with Zurich because the prices are over 2x what I was spending in the states

[@kylefromjp]

Glad to hear my video is helpful!!!! In Japan those insurance company has a unique way to determine you cost.....and each of the company always "lie" to you about how cheap they are on their's advertisement. Hope you will enjoy my other content too!!! I make lots of content about Japan both short and long! Good day sir>_

[@skylightdown1]

how much do you think will lc200 road tax insurance and inspection will be

[@kylefromjp]

At least 5k USD for all these cost annually… Minimum……..

[@kaungswehein8360]

Dude i love your videos. So how much will it cost for you to maintain mitsubishi io 2002 annually?

[@kylefromjp]

Thx for your comment. It really depends on the vehicle's condition. If the condition is good I would say.......1800USD annually. But if you want to change your tiers or adding some off road kit then the cost will keep going up. Good day!

[@kaungswehein2106]

thank you dude, where do you live in japan?

[@kylefromjp]

Tokyo my friend………a Busy City………

[@godsugodsu4719]

My yearly insurance is 400,000 for a brand new 2023 car o.o

[@kylefromjp]

Is that number in JPY? Cause if it`s 400Thousand USD, i not pretty sure you r driving a car anymore...lol🙃

[@ebubechiibegbula5968]

Well Japan has good public transport .... We may not need to drive so much

[@kylefromjp]

Exactly! I strongly agree with you. But I am living at Okinawa so........it’s necessary for me😭

[@ebubechiibegbula5968]

@@kylefromjp sorry bro

[@StarChomp]

I’m planning on getting a hilux surf. I’m getting ready for all the bs chargers they’re gonna put on it lol. I do need to check the insurance you mentioned. For sure Sony insurance and their coverage SUCKS

[@kylefromjp]

Absolutely! But be aware JA kyosai(JA共済)they only accept your insurance application in their store,online application is not available. Also I’not sure they have English service since they majorly targeting Farmers or the people dealing with agriculture as their consumer! Anyway have fun!😊
