Government Increases Age On Importing Used Cars

[~Vēġó~]

like me....my car was 26k, bought in Jan '08....yet when collected had to change rear shocks (dealer paid for that) and then a couple months later had to change 3 door actuators @ $1100+ each, then front cradles @ $2200 each, and then about 18 months after purchasing had to change alternator....then earlier this year I had to replace the radiator......the amount of money I spent on that car to have it working as it is now....

Spoke to a used car dealer he said that he has stopped bringing in cars from singapore because that is widely practiced there. He said the used car business is not properly regulated in Singapore.

Japan on the other side is fully regulated by the government. It is a serious crime to roll back the milage there

I myself have noticed that about Singapore cars which are usually stating about 20k milage.Yet when you look at the car it is obviosly not that

So stick to Japan and and you should be ok .

Notice how you would see vehicles with as much as 100K milage

mine did come from Japan....only afterwards I heard that the dealer started doing this...

the RORO dealers do it locally eh.

every now and then in the classifieds you see people selling the computers/whatchamacallits to reset the odo's

Which is why I picked my car from a Japan site. Got all the details printed there including endgine and chassis number grade and milage and I went to the port to see the vehicle come in at which pont I matched it to the information printed.

Also remember you can always bring down your own car!


Plus Vega add up the money you spen does it eqall 100,000 + service by dealer for three years plus insurance for 100,000 dollars more?

The level of stupid in this thread is most astounding

[~Vēġó~]

care to elaborate buzz?

PariaMan, no it doesn't add up, but the point was that some of these dealers aren't doing the honest thing......I could have understood all those failures and changes that I had to do, had the odo read, say 70,000km....

Well as I said my advice is to select your own car from a reputable Japan site (you can get a list from the Japanese Embassy), print out all the details, let a dealer bring down the car for you, be on site when the car is released from the port, match up the details to what you had printed and you should be ok

It is up to customers to be savy and not to be fooled!

Hope the price of new cars will drop or better yet the warranty of new cars increased if the prices do not drop. One thing for sure is that the people bringing down these 6 yr old F.U.Cs will be making a bigger profit and smile even more on their way to the bank.
