defect is sth we can avoid de... its really hard for us to get a model which is perfectly 100% fine... but very tiny little scratch can still be acceptable... but not broken side mirrors, broken rear spoiler, or even headlights fall out etc... those are unacceptable... i ever saw an f1 car which the rear wing is broken n its even sold for RM229

to check for broken parts, try shake the box to hear if there are any sound... if no sound means there no broken parts then should be a green light to purchase tat model...

i do take care of them, sometimes even better than my real car that I can actually drive to work and stuff...but that day I was in a hurry before the sun set, so wipe sikit2 je lah....I like them to be on their display stand esp the ones with model name. The downside is it takes more space.
that ford gt is a real looker....that's my long time target....along with nsx gzox jgtc chrome, bmw 3 series wtcc, f430 scuderia, pajero dakar.....hooo the list grows all the time....pokai lorr...
one more, minichamps mclaren chrome all round

Re defects, try to open and inspect the model up close and personal. Most of the time the salesman will have no problem with this. Remember in a way this is an investment. It could be worth a lot more 20 years down the road . Here's hoping...
