Lately i saw this FB page called ScrapCar Singapore. Tempting. Example: 2008 BMW 320i for Rm 7800.

Our Bolehland used car dealers sell the same car for RM38-43K.
Imagine. RM 7k and a BMW is yours.

Not that i am going to buy. But it created a curiosity.
If one were to just drive without changing the SG plates and drive in Malaysia for lobg term isnt it almost the same risk as cloning a Malaysian plate. And how is JPJ gonna know if this SG car is a scrap car or just a Singaporean visiting Malaysia.

Im sure someone is willing to take risks. Otherwise why there is a supply & demand for these cars.

(Please dont flame me. Im just curious )

1. No road tax as this car is deregistered liao and no insurance. JPJ just need to ask for road tax at roadblocks. Also, you langgar anyone how?

2. Do you have Singapore license? If not, polis will definitely suspect something amiss during road block. Msia license holder driving Sin car will raise red flag.

3. The demand for such cars can come from workshops looking for spare parts, or change whole engine/chassis and then illegally make it legal.

4. Avoid buying durians when driving that car. Sure kena ketuk kawkaw.
