so i was looking at some cars and then i saw this facebook page selling some scrap cars

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Singapore-wh...539780796115092

then, i was wondering why is the car so cheap?

the seller tell me the car no insurance and can drive in malaysia like normal car just dont go simply involve in accident.. and then dont modify it so much..

the question in my mind now is


what will happen if i buy?

what is the consequences that i will face after i buy?

is this save?

I don't mind if the car no insurance but the thing is, can we drive in Malaysia like normal car?

the seller also say that the roadtax is original..

However, the owner of the car's name will not change to mine...

i am kinda confuse and wishing someone can explain to me.

No insurance mean no road tax. No road tax mean cannot drive in Malaysia, i.e. illegal

Road tax have expiry date, max 1 year

Scrap car:
Singapore regulation, all cars in SG have only 10 yrs life span due to the COE. After 10 years, either you re-purchase the COE (cost SGD 70K) again to retain the car or scrap the car with little return (around 10k).

So some funny funny things come around, some business bring in these kind of near 10 years old car to Malaysia, instead of scrapping it, they sell it to Malaysian and drive in Malaysia. Ofcoz it dont have legal documents (insurance, rd tax, import permit).

It wont be an issue if you drive these kind of cars in Malaysia as Malaysia authority dont have the info/ data to tangkap you (kind of grey area). As Malaysia Gov see it as foreign car, as a visitor car. Just that this car cant return back to SG.

But bear in mind, if you happen involve in accident, then god bless you. All sort of consequences may come to you.

Conclusion: These cars are all ILLEGAL!!

what kind of consequences it will be? please let me know..

actually i didnt aim to buy the car for vroomvroom.. just i feel that at that price is kinda worth it for the car.. even we buy a new car now example like perodua myvi also need around 30k+ , but with that rm30k + i can actually sit a better car.. im not sure whether what i think is correct anot la.. but i feel is ok if it didnt relate me into jail.. that's the thing i worry.. i worry that later jpj open my bonnet then gg.com masuk jail.. if by penalty $$ still ok la..

if kinda tangkap saman (speeding), chances are the real owner will be pissed since there is 'illegal twin on the road'. yes i think this is quite rampant. its fine if you buy it for parts car or use in track.

These cars, drive at you own peril but please (try) not to drive on public roads. If the car cause or involved in accident, and if there is mortality (orang mati) involved.

..possibly be jailed for manslaughter.
