Hello everyone. Thank you for telling much information. I envy you who can maintain a car at a low cost. Japan is the country which isn't kind to the old car. There are some problems except for the auto tax to maintain a car in Japan. A car for common use must take inspection in every two years. About 1000 dollars are necessary at that time. I take inspection every time, and I am maintaining the condition that my Imper ial can run on the road. Therefore, I can't raise the cost to repair a car beautifully... Contents of inspection become strict recently, and I am afraid that the power of the brake is weaker than the decided power. It is difficult to get the old part of Chrysler in Japan. I chose fixing the part of other companies at the time of the repair to mainta in my car in Japan for a long time. Therefore, I may not be able to say "I am maintaining Imperial." strictly. Don't get angry, please. I am using translation software because I am poor at English. Forgive the slow reply which I write, please. Yours sincerely .
