Put it this way you could buy a 02 uk scoob that has seen 14 years of winters (salt = rot), JDM are usually very clean underneath and ROT FREE,belief me i have welded many a uk car its not easy.
The engine is much easier to work on should it need any work at all,
85k if its been looked after there should be no probs.
Mine has 65k and is very very clean and rot free runs like a dream.
It comes down to luck i suppose but i would prefer mechanical work to body /chassis rot remedies any time of day.

How is the JDM engine any easier to work on than the UK car?
