My guess is the whole emissions thing. Instead of them throwing a $2k engine in it to keep up with emissions they just sell 'em and buy another car instead.

Yes, I believe so. I haven't been in the JDM lingo for a while now. That's the standard inspection, right?

I'm not sure if that's the same one I'm thinking of. I remember there being something along the lines of, if the car has 40k miles or so they have to replace the engine.

[jed_averill]
