Could have been worse... If I needed new front brakes and roters, that would have been another $900... Tires would be about $500. Exhaust system... we won't even go there.... I got off lucky... They could have told me that I needed to put fresh air in my tires. 
(Stitchawl does not use 'air' in his tires. He uses Nitrogen instead.)

Last time I was in Yokosuka, there were a lot of three or four year old cars running around on the Naval Base. It seems that the Japanese laws regarding inspections makes it not practical to repair a car after a certain point, so the Japanese people just replace them. This causes the price of used cars to be virtually nil, and they get recycled.
BUT!!! The US status of forces agreement with Japan exempts US servicemen from having to comply with the inspections, so they can and do scoop up those relatively new used cars for a song.
