Moral of the story, regardless of brands never pay downpayment till you see and check the car. Happy with the car condition then only proceed to JPJ to get it register.

TS, i feel your agony so go and complain to the dealer or Honda Malaysia. Hopefully they can do something. Maybe spray back all those rusty parts or replacement on those parts.

This is a case of screw up SA not the brand. Did the SA give u lots of discount? Something is fishy if the discount is too good to be true.
