i). i.e you looking for an 8 year (for minimum tax) but you realize CAR A was Registered in Month (Dec year X), but it was Manufactured (January year X). Basically Month of Manufacture vs Month of Registration- This was rampant because it messes up tax calculation
You may not have looked at the Auction sheet keenly or may not have asked for it prior to committing to buying your vehicle. Google translate app does a remarkable job of interpreting for you the Japanese symbols and inspector comments in realtime. It will tell you if the car is a left or right hand drive, 2 or 4 or All wheel drive, alloy wheels vs defaults, MT vs AT vs CVT.... etc
