Refer back to customs/MITI. Submit the chassis number of ur friends car and check the AP. U can ask for another copy coz the original copy will be with the MITI. Best to check with the 1st owner, where he bought.

Btw, AP are just approved permits to import cars. Specifically, the AP document is just the K69 customs application form, and when its signed and permitted by the authorities, then its called Approved Permit, thus AP.

What they call AP cars are just considered as imported cars, which of course is surcharged with tax. There are only a hands full of AP holders, so thats why the price of AP's are roughly 47k-60k, bcoz they just want to control the price. I can get it for cheaper anyway, but thats beside the point. And what the people always fuss about the term "Kereta import terpakai" and "Kereta import baru" is a ridiculous factor to argue with, just check the cars' condition already, if u know about cars, u'll know wether its 'terpakai' or its new. Then u have the right to argue if its not according to what u have speculated.
