Dear /k

I was on the hunt of looking for conti cars (Merc / BMW) with recon car dealers. I looked at many places in KL, Cheras and found a good one @ setapak. Liked its condition, colour and mileage (21600km)

Later after paying deposit of RM3000, the SA sent me the custom certificates for checking. In that there was a Japanese certificate of export. I found that during the time of lading, the mileage clocked was 36600km. This mean that the importer here had tampered the meter for a lower mileage.

I also managed to get a redbook certificate from japan by paying (using chassis no) a sum. The certificate also mentioned Odometer reading above 35000km

When I produced the report infront of the dealer and their boss, they told me not to raise any report and refund my money back !!!!


The lesson learnt is when you are buying recon cars, please insist to see certificates of port of lading (UK or Japan) to see the mileage. Not the translated versions of certificates from Malaysian Customs as they dont mention the mileage in the translated versions.

This would help you to have a piece of mind before making any purchase....

PS: I cant post the cert's or pictures as they reveal the details of importer / their shop

Moral of the story - buy a new car, cheapskate.

true.. but affordability comes .... also Recon cars get same interest on loan as new cars....

Moral of the story , that's how they make money . Or else how ?

For those buying recon Mercees cars, the VIN report is free here

Please take a snap of Chassis no (WD--------------------) 17 digits and key in in the box in above link page. you will get full history of the vehicle...

For Japanese CBU cars
