Any thoughts on the possibility of vehicles from Japan containing higher than normal amounts of radiation? See link below:

This could be hogwash, I mean have you ever looked up "Vladivostok customs"? They're the ones who supposedly found the shipment of the affected used vehicles.



They seem kinda flakey - I wouldn't be surprised if they don't know what a geiger counter looks like, they're too busy popping the bubbly!

I am not making this up.

It's a good sales pitch 12k for a non landed L400 is $500.00 below his cost ? If that's the case, he got taken by some dealer in Japan

Do you think this is being posted by the same guy as before in an effort to deter people from buying Japanese imports?

I hope to buy an L400 that lands this week. Someone suggested radiation might be an issue. I don't agree but like Scotty says to Captain Kirk, "I'm a doctor, not an engineer." There are some very intelligent folks on this site and I thought someone could address the issue authoritatively.

If you are seriously worried about radiation you can pick up a Geiger counter on CL and make your own tests - I see several for sale there, and the cheapest one on ebay is 62 bucks. I think it's a waste of time though, I mean, the entire planet's been testing nukes in the open air for decades, I am pretty sure that's done a whole lot more harm to the general population than any vehicle imported from Japan ever will.

If there is a little contamination is it most likely Iodine 131 which has a half-life of about 8 days (I think). It's pretty harmless (for the most part). I wouldn't worry about it too much.

It read more like a FUD campaign than anything. Play on people's fears and you can usually get more out of them - money, that is.
