since i worked so many years in recond
my answer to u is NONE

and since you're not experience in buying recond or in car in general
i suggest u buy new car for peace of mind
recond car dealer only gives u 2 months warranty only

trust me, don't be cheapskate
that "cheapskate" will backfire u once the 2 month warranty is over
if u don't know anything abt cars at all, u won't be able to point out what is wrong with the car
and you'll be in serious wallet trouble once it fail

or just forego your vellfire idea and go for other cars that is sold brand new...why must u have a vellfire?
u have to understand that buying a recond is basically buying a used car, there is no difference

you're going to regret it real soon
don't say i never advice u before

2 months warranty pass by very fast

these vellfire are also famous for their ABS module problem
u can't check it, u can only wait for it to fail and it's very expensive to change 1 of them
my friend who owns a vellfire back then changed a few of these every year until he was so fed up...he traded in for a kia instead
the power door sometimes will give u problems too...as always expensive to repair

the SA that u engage knows nothing abt the car they're selling, their job is only to sell u the car u like
they don't even know the condition the car it's in nor that they care
a car that is grade C also they can say it's a grade A...u won't even know
that's why the buyer needs to know themselves which part is wrong and needed replacement

as someone mentioned, he is looking for a 2013-2014 car, it's a 6-7 years car, what kind of car that is 6-7 years old that is problem free?
as compared to a brand new car?

u can't
but most of it won't even let u see the auction sheet, only the boss hold it...the SA won't have access to it
so u need to get it on your own
and even then the SA will always say the car they sell is grade A
what can u do?...it's in their nature

but i can guarantee u it won't be grade A because A means brand new or almost brand new...real mileage is less than 1000km which is impossible for what u wanted


bro, i've been in this industry for more than 5 years already...u think u know whats happening inside better than me?
those "auction sheet"...only the boss will have access to it since they're the ones who bid it. bought it and pay for it
the SA will have absolutely no access to it and they won't even see it in their lifetime nor that the boss will let them see it

from the moment the car arrived at port until the car is sold, i can guarantee the SA never touched the car before so they will have absolutely no idea abt the car(that would also affect their mindset to sell the car as well when they know there is something wrong with it)

p/s : i'm not an SA, i'm the one who handles the car when it arrives at port till inspecting the car thoroughly for them(dealer)
and even then i still don't have access to the "auction sheet" but i know where to get it from
