I kena from Otofacts, where b4 buying report it says my car is low spec, and the car im buying is mid-spec. i was so anxious that time, tot its accident car and they buy mid-spec parts to upgrade it. after buying the report, otofact say its mid-spec from the factory.

I think a mechanic should be able to tell a second hand car is ok or not, regardless of what values the scrut give u/them.

I personally trust mechanic than scrut N/A value.. unless scrut explictly say YES on certain parts. N/A means they don't have the data.

have u talk to the seller about this scrut report?

also its a proton inspira right

just go proton SC with the number plate and check its service history la.. or check whether did any major bodywork repairs or not as well..

Cant believe you have 2 "uncles" who supposed to be "experienced" until simple thing like this also they never tell you..

and Scrut is not the be all end all, especially for local cars. I find their report on local cars is often lacking. Which explains why yours also show N/A. It just means they dont have any record for it, not that its a confirm red flag or whatever..

No, i didnt talk about the SCRUT report. I purchased another report on jomcheck, it has NO instead of the N/A, but the chassis no is not shown.


I think it's my fault where i didnt tell them im planning to buy a used car before, i only told them after i paid 2.5k to the seller
EDIT: OH, another weird thing is the boot carpet is gone and the wood covering the boot is a bit warped.

I think so, i saw his FB posting again to bump his listing and actually he might be a dealer instead of a owner as i saw multiple listing from him.



One thing im scared is will i get into trouble for not proceeding with the agreement even though im ok with the 2.5k gone? he said that cannot cancel, i die die need to transfer the remaining balance to him.

no la i dont think he can force u like that. 2.5k is deposit, means u ffk then u forfeit it. if he is a dealer, can try check their shop fb/google review if it helps.

i feel u should trust mechanic more than your uncle, what do they say now jomcheck says NO instead of N/A? are they really professional experienced kind (been dealer for many many years) or just kopitiam uncle (talk story kind)

another thing u can do is check the history with proton SC with the carplate.

what i meant is he's a private dealer not under a company, but buy and sells multiple cars under him.

actually the used car dealer uncle bought the JomCheck report for me, he mentioned that it's still weird cus the chassis no is not there, but all of the other sample report he got has it.

He storied me he found another case that there are stolen no plate where the car plate is on 2 different cars, so he might used a copy plate.

most used car dealer i know can check a car with their eyes and able to know a lot after a test drive. im not sure how your uncle rely on those reports so much, especially non of those report says yes on anything. its up to you on that deposit, i dont think the seller can 'force' you to buy it.

if you want to give up the deposit, make sure ur uncle can find u a good car. dont forfeit the deposit then u have to find again and you find another car that gives similar results on scrut report.

Eh, what's done is done, TS. Not like it's the end of the world tho. as long as the engine/drivetrain works and no rust affects the frame that it's detrimental to the safety/structure, you'd be good to go!

You mentioned yourself it's a dream car that you aspire to have, so now you're in the way of getting one, what's a few more K's to make sure it drives and performs well, eh?

I just recently owned an old carb car as a backup transport.. which happened to be one of the cars I've been eyeballed during my youth! so while I could've done better and some know-how on the inspection, as long as one doesn't exceed and put a burden on him/herself, you're good to go, IMHO

PM me the plate number

I help you to check

If you think the plate is replaced, get me the chassis or engine number

I'm not in the expert of car, but talking about deposit things.

According to Malaysia law, KPDN/Tribunal can help your problem if you want refund from him.

But since you haven't pay him/her anything, is okay to cancel your deal.

Even you did pay, with Tribunal, you can get back partial amount of whatever PUSPAKOM/Runner Fee spent etc.

Want full amount can go file small claim court, no lawyer needed. Need pay some registration fee and you are good to go.
