They have quite a protectionist market though which locks out second hand Japanese imports.
I think there are exceptions for personal imports similar to here though, if you have owned the car in this country for a certain amount of time you are allowed to import it for personal use (but probably not sell it for a while).

They are trying to control the number of new cars that hit the road in Beijing. There were about 20,000 a week!So, if you want a new car, you must enter a 'lottery' with the prizes being "allowed to buy a new car". This of course ramps up the used car prices somewhat. Thanks for the personal import thought vtec. Sounds like NZ/Aussie in the 50's/60's even 70's.

Left side. We got a few left hooks around NZ and they are generally cheaper as well. It all sounds too hard but you never know on this forum. Someone might have been there done that.
