be careful, nowadays repairing and restoring totaled car is big business because of the huge profit gained after selling the restored totaled car as 'accident free' car

kalau dia tak buat inspection, mesti dia tak tahu kereta bekas eksiden.
pegajaran, jangan buat inspection.

also fender bender accident is very common, i will buy the car if the price is right.

Its an open secret. Not carsome certified ones, they wont dare, but those old old car ones. The ones >5 years have higher risk.

So Carsome sells 2 type of car? 1 carsome certified and 1 not certified (which probably means accident and banjir?)

engage 3rd party inspection workshops like SCRUT inspection or Prestige Malaysia.... to do detailed inspection... my friend said the inspection will take hours and very detail depending on package u take...

unless the cars are repair and restore by very professional workshop...else sure will able to tell... bolt/nut marking, panel or paint thickness...welding marks, parts.... etc .... i doubt those intend to sell the cars or without claim insurance will spend tonnes of money to repair it
