for me I when I bought my car it was tampered as I bought a used car officially imported by AB.

So i just brought the key, the AB guy slotted the key into a reader and wall the mileage showed up 213k and my car was showing 87xxx hahahaa..

So i went back to the dealer told him abt the tampering which he admitted telling me all used cars in Mysia do that (mind u this is very serious offence in the UK or Australia to tamper odometer of  a used car)

Then I said I still want to buy coz I liked the car but I will take RM 5k off as I believe there are more parts to replace in due time. or I will walk away.

He agreed I am happy!

So moral of the story nego hard or just walk away,

You are one nice guy to that dealer... 215k odo reading is something like re-boring the engine !!!! BTW, what car was it and when?

Folks...

One thing is 15k mileage is not a deal. But He asked 175k, Once I found the anomaly, I asked for 165k. He kiasu and called off the deal... That sounded that the car might have a bad service record or accident one ??

Since, my deal is called off I dont want to pursue this again. However, mentioning the experience here in the forum will caution members to know what to look for when buying a used car and be cautious

Not meant to bump this topic, but I do wanna share something. Last time I worked at a Toyota Dealer at my hometown, I've encountered several cases regarding this issue. One example, an unker, my regular customer, bought a camry 2.4 at Klang. Came to me with a huge grin, saying that he's a lucky guy, managed to find a very low mileage car (25K km+). When I input the plate number, jeng-jeng...last service, clocked at 127K km. But there's more, the service history oso showed that the camry involved in a severe accident, which costs about RM45K. As seeing this, the unker's face turned red, grab his phone and maki the Klang salesman. He asked me to print out all the service history. "Wa mau saman itu jilaka punya olang", he said. I learned from his wife, the salesman gerenti the car is accident-free, and said the previous owner is a kilang manager, rarely use the car. I donno the outcome. Hope the salesman got sued gao-gao la.

Recent case, my kolik bought an avanza 1.5. odometer is 65K km, but toyota sc record, last service, 130K km, plus with narrative from sc, the avanza got AT problem, parts need to be replaced costs nearly rm5K sweat.gif

Recond cars usually are less than 3 years, meaning under warranty.. so when buying should request for full service record which might end up costing more but it will definitely be worth it on the long run

Can you share with us how to obtain the "redbook certificate" from Japan ?

In my case, I called upon Yanase, the Merc dealer in Japan where the car I found was serviced last. I was asked to pay a sum and got the records.
