Yeah, that is something I haven't been able to figure out about the Japanese used car market. Perhaps someone here has experience with this issue:
-cars at auction in Japan are often very, very cheap. Especially compared with European classifieds (mobile.de) prices.
-cars on a dealer's lot in Japan are often very, very expensive. Even when compared with European or North American prices.
Here in Canada the differential between auction price and dealer retail on a $30,000 car might be as much as $5,000 - $8,000 but over there the differential seems much larger.
What gives?
