Okinawa may be different because of the US base but generally TkrPerformance is right - the older the car the more tax you pay. If you can legally import them & have a use for them there are great buys on low mileage cars/vans/trucks. Generally that works out best for Australians and Canadians. I thought I could import one to the Philippines but NO, I was suprised to discover RHD vehicles are ILLEGAL there! Oh well...
