The Trick of Going to a Different Country for Your Used Cars
Maybe you've spotted the advertisements around. Some car dealerships, trying to pull in clients any way they can, have popped up ads appealing to the consumer's patriotic duty, pushing them to "Buy American" and save the auto industry. It's not confined just to America, either, but it's heaviest there.
But bear in mind this one important fact: It's just marketing. Allow us to explain.
Cars are Multinational
Most car companies are not longer strictly "American" anyway. They get much of their stuff from dozens of different places, depend on China and other cheaper countries to drive costs down, and haven't been purely American for ages.
Since tons of foreign autos are also made by Americans in many places across the US, buying a Japanese car also contributes to Americans. It's only the company bosses who are still 'American' (with tons of exceptions)--and do you think you should help out the CEOs that helped drive some of these companies into the state they're in today?
Help Yourself First
Propping up American dealers that haven't been making good products for ages isn't going to win you many patriotism points.
Shouldn't you be concerned about making sure you've got money to spend be more important? Saving money and making investments can only be useful when you make good financial decisions for yourself, not just because a bunch of company heads have asked you to bail them out.
An Example
Here are two choices: one is a used Japanese car, shipped over instantly from an auction in Japan, and sold to a proud American buyer.
The other is an American offering, its price cut by one of the main carmakers so they can sell it quickly, even while the company heads for chapter 11.
Which choice do you make? Taking the Japanese car might mean you'll have more money to use towards anything else. It means you will have been smart in making a choice that's intelligent and personalized, not simply giving charity to companies.
Everyone Else Does It, Why Shouldn't You Buy From A Foreign Market
Containing some of the world's best drivers and top roads, the auto market in Japan is one of the top ones around. Go after it.
Plus, average Japanese car owners normally switch to new cars after a shorter amount of time. The government demands a very prohibitive load of tests on older cars, which makes ownership much more expensive than owning a pre-owned vehicle in America. Profit from the discrepancy.
As the Japanese sell off their used vehicles, trusty exporters pick up the autos and organize their sale to other markets, including just about every Western country around.
If you're hunting down a new or used car--from wherever you might be--use the global advantages of the internet, tap into resources you didn't even know existed, and locate the finest vehicle for your money.
