I currently have a Mitsubishi mini car (it’s a kei car) the documents say it was first registered in 2006 so I’m assuming it was made around then. It think it’s been passed among my predecessors (I'm an ALT) for years? It’s now got just under 150000km on it and in my eyes it runs fine as any shit car. The outside has rust and it looks shit, but the garage man says the underneath is fine and should be fine to pass it’s shaken (due next month) with some fixes probs. Last time my shaken was like 8man… two years ago..
The dilemma is though, my boyfriend’s friend is selling a car and is offering us mates rates. Not sure the exact type of car or when it was made but it’s a white plate, looks much newer than my car now and only has around 60000km on it. (I think it's a Toyota Passo 2012 – but only from the look of it) He’s offering it to us for 7man and it’s shaken isn’t due until May next year so on paper it seems worth?? But i don’t really know what the difference is between owning a white plate compared to a kei? I just don’t know a lot about cars in general so I’m just asking for advice sorry if this isn’t a great description.
