Thx sifoo cata for ur clear explanation. In addition, i've to thx bro oly and maxgenesis as well for providing assistance to me.
Btw, do u mind to explain more about the deformation part ?? How about the rust, which section of chassis should i pay attention to ?? AFAIK, wira's roof is famous for rusting problem.
In fact, my friend and I has went to a 2nd hand dealer to have a look on the car ytd. Strangely, we found out that the vehicle has white smoke coming out from the exhaust. Does this mean the piston "kong" already ? In addition, the engine is rattling quite badly while idling. Does this shows that the engine mounting "kong" too ??

I didn't managed to test drive coz they don't allowed me to do so until i confirm my purchase.....and this really sounds fishy to me

rust very hard to find one if the car has already been repainted, then it will be ur luck but to put the engine part as priority.
White smoke might mean 1st, piston's time is up (time to change). 2nd, valve seals all harden thus engine oils leaks into the combustion chamber and burn together with petrol = blue/white smoke.
Steering rattling coz of engine mounting ....
where got this kind of rule confirm only can test drive, normally when u ask for the car's condition, the dealer will ask wan go test drive or not ...
since i see u nearby kepong, try check out the big/huge 2nd car dealer shop beside mrr2. Dunno wat Lot bla bla there ...
@eric, puchong and damansara nowadays damn alot of road crimes .. i heard damn alot of cases just last week and now ur friend's case ...
will have a lookout for the accord ...
