Japan earthquake and the car market economy?

Those units are damaged by sea water. Dunno if those surplus parts will be any use...

sir if you don't mind. pa share naman kami tungkol sa mga damages caused by water (more so sea water) on vehicles.

are these vehicles really rendered useless? or are there possibilities of restoration then sold afterwards?

kung meron na po thread tungkol dito pa link nalang po.

It depends how the damage is. It can possibly restore but not in top notch condition. Like what the other poster said, our government banned the importation of cars to protect the CAMPI. It's always safe to buy a LHD car than converted.

Unless di ka ipinanganak noong Ondoy...Paki search lang po tungkol sa mga Ondoy damaged cars at mga sakit ng ulo ng naka bili ng mga "repaired" Ondoy cars dito sa tsikot. May search function sa taas ng page.

A more plausible scenario, there will be a delay in the production of Japanese cars worldwide since the parts supply has been disrupted. Japanese cars built outside Japan have still reliant on a small percentage of parts made in Japan.

well their 'trash' has to go somewhere. pero lalo atang hindi advisable to get japan surplus vehicles or parts now (unless yung mga plastic parts ang kukunin mo) kasi nalubog na and worse, in sea water pa (highly corrosive). kung ondoy vehicle nga kinatatakutan natin, tsunami vehicle pa kaya?

i also doubt na malaki effect sa car market. sa dami ng plants nila around the world, madali lang siguro nila ma-ooffset yung loss nila sa manufacturing sa japan. baka nga mas cost efficient pa yun kasi taas na ng yen vs dollar. IMO

Besides, little market share ang mga made in Japan na new cars. More on Locally or Thailand made ang market natin. Hoping that the former mas bumenta lalo

importation of used cars have already been banned in Subic some time ago

the cars/SUVs we see with license plates beginning with C and R are those imported before the ban

after the Subic ban, Port Irene became the port of entry (cars with license plates beginning with B)

the Aquino admin banned imports there

unless those earthquake/tsunami damaged cars are chopped up, it's not likely they'll come into the country

wow thanks for that info. i didn't know that until now. so you mean there's really no way for these cars to come here (unless ofcourse in pieces). In that case then the market here (i.e. PI) should remain stable regardless of what happend in Japan.

while watching kasi videos from the news, I can't help but think ano mangyayari sa dami ng mga kotse na nasira dun sa lugar na yun.

Besides, we are better informed and we've learned our lessons from Ondoy. What more, double whammy since converted plus tsunamied equals driving disaster

mas mahigpit na ang customs ngayon compared sa panahon ng Arroyo admin

unless meron importer na sobrang lakas kay PNoy, it's not likely anyone can bring in those tsunami damaged cars whole

besides, di lang naman Pinas ang export market ng Japan para sa surplus vehicles

[hondaboot]

what we should be buy are those tsunami damaged jet fighters, all 17 of them

[safeorigin]

^buy them as paperweights?
