VIN plate no didnt implemented in Malaysia due to no enforcement.
For export market they do the VIN plate at the dashboard especially Australia, middle east, africa market.

Any pro here can help me verify where is VIN place in local market cars?

No... The original bill of lading at Japanese Port showed 36.6k on the Odometer which is signed and endorsed by MB, Japan (Yayase) But actual meter reading at KL dealer's lot showed 21.6k which is confirm tampered by local AP guys brows.gif brows.gif

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 !!!!  doh.gif
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.  shakehead.gif

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

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

This is common knowledge what. Recon cars usually means second hand cars in Japan.They just refurbish the whole car and sell it to us since its still worth selling.
