*average parking space in Tokyo goes for 30,000 yen a month,
vehicle inspections, which are compulsory three years after first purchasing a new car and every two years after that, typically start at 60,000 yen and get a lot steeper.
Insurance and taxes will likely add at least 10,000 yen per month on top of this, and that’s before you’ve even filled your tank*
well... still definitely much cheaper than owning a car in Singapore...
Even before you buy a car in Singapore, you'll need to purchase a "certificate" to own it (costs around 1 to 1.5 million! yen)
Then you have to pay a tax for the car (which is 100% of the imported car price - i.e 2 million yen if the car, let's say a Honda Civic costs 2 million yen)
Annual road tax? 60,000 yen to 200,000 yen (depending on engine capacity)
And let's not even talk about our world's first ERP (Electronic road pricing) aka e-tolls, parking charges, fuel and the lot, which easily amounts to 50,000 yen / mth...
And did i mention insurance starts at 200,000 yen for newbie drivers?
