There's no shortage of BMW's and Mercedes Benz's in Japan. Yanase, a dealer in imported cars, has dealerships all over the country.

I'm not sure what the service record ib Mini Coopers might be. But I don't recall seeing too many while I was over there.

“There’s no shortage of BMW’s and Mercedes Benz’s in Japan.”

Yes, but those are luxury items. The people who buy those in Japan aren’t worried about a few hundred thousand yen here and there.

A Mini Cooper would be — or should be — affordable.
