Hey does anyone in this sub have any experience converting a Y plate to a standard hiragana plate? I just bought a car and went to get it deregistered and the mechanic told me that he would have to reinspect the vehicle and that I would have to pay shaken despite the fact that the current shaken doesn't expire until April 2025.
None of my friends or coworkers have ever heard of this rule and I can't seem to find any info about it online so I wanted to see if anyone in this sub has any experience with this. Even the guy we bought the car from had no idea. I could afford the car and road tax/all the other assorted fees, but if I had known I would have to pay shaken the day I bought it, I absolutely would have held off.
