LHD cars in Japan

[Mark]

My boss is trying to sell his used 2000 Lexus GS300(for $12,500 if anyone is interested) here in LA and someone called him very excited to see the car. So he came by today and says he plans on purchasing the car and sending it back to Japan. He has purchased 6 other GS's and sent them over. Appearantly the Japanese want LHD cars and this is why he buys them. Anyone know if this is true? Seems kinda strange as ive never heard of this before...

Left Hand Drive

left hand drive?

wait why though? opposite sides of roads.

It's probably a fad over there. It would be easier to buy the car here and ship it over than to convert the thing to LHD

That's a pretty nice ride for a mail carrier.

probably the same idea with ricers here wanting a RHD car.

just makes turning left a PITA

It's a fad. Crazy japaneses over there want USDM and people here nuts over anything JDM.

haha, imagine driving a giant lifted diesel truck in japan. You wouldn't even feel all the little cars as you ran them over.
