Quality Priority at KoreaSUV
A. Exports of used cars from Japan are only available through auctioning. When submitting vehicles to a such auction house, they undergo commercialization process where broken or expected-to-be broken parts in the vehicle are repaired. Due to this export system for used cars, there is a perception that the used cars from Japan are expensive but free of vehicle issues.
B, On the other hand, most exported used cars from South Korea are from vehicle wreck yards. This is because anyone, regardless of their nationality, may purchase decommissioned vehicles from a wreck yard in Korea. Overseas buyers purchase these cars for 1/5 to 1/10 of the price of Japanese vehicles to be sold in their country.
C. Most overseas consumers who are not aware of such facts may purchase used cars from Korea due to their clean look and think that “Korean used cars are of poor quality,” when they discover the quality issues. However, this is only a prejudice. It is logical that these vehicles, exported from wreck yards without having been repaired correctly, would not run properly.
D. Korean used cars may ride for over 10 years without much trouble if they were repaired like Japanese cars. The used cars exported by our company are all inspected and repaired, including engine, transmission, chassis, and suspension components, and therefore they are most reliable in Korea that each vehicle is in a better condition and can be purchased for a cheaper price compared to Japanese cars.
