Comparing a model across Singapore, Japan and UK stock

A repeatable template for comparing one model across the three main right-hand drive sources: age, mileage, trim, documents, price and freight.

How to use this template

Pick one model, for example the Toyota Harrier 2017. Fill each row from a live listing in each market. The row that decides most purchases is trim at the same FOB.

The rows

  • Registration year and month, and the age rule at your port of entry.
  • Mileage and who recorded it (LTA inspection, auction sheet, MOT history).
  • Trim: leather, sunroof, camera, sensors, hybrid.
  • Documents: export certificate, deregistration certificate, inspection certificate.
  • FOB, freight to your port, insurance, inspection: the CIF line.
  • Transit days and next sailing.

Where Singapore usually wins

  • Trim at the same price.
  • Mileage.
  • Distance to East Africa.

Where Japan usually wins

  • Volume and choice in budget segments.
  • Kei trucks and commercial vehicles.
