Eugene,
I think buying recond cars are always a matter of luck. Dealers/salesmen/women wouldnt know the 100% history of the vehicle. The importers depend on the technical sheet supplied with the vehicle after it goes thru inspection & certification by the Japanese RTA. Dealers just need to meet their sales target. At the end of the day its our call.
Mutiara imports from Koyu Ltd. Most of the cars are reliable but IMO avoid heavily moddified ones. Oh..and they only give u a month's warranty.
I just went thru a pewter spec-r last saturday. It is parked at the top. The car is waiting to hit the tracks with alot of greddy stuff such as the FMIC, TT, 6 dial gauges, SMI ecu etc..On top of that, Mutiara has added a profec type-s, infometer and a muffler. Also has recaros, CF hood and i forget..
Talk about temptation..no, not the band!!hahah
Good luck in your hunt man..
Cheers!:shades_smile:
