The 2 cars listed above is the same car. However the mileage is different. From 32000km to 10550km I was just wondering is there a legal department in Singapore that specially look into such cases?

Not uncommon practice by dealers... Take away 20K off the odo. But this one kena spotted... Can report the error on the ad... But then they'll claim that it's a genuine typo & set back. Unless u go down take a pic of the odo... Anyway it's ur word against theirs...

Call to ask they claim its genunie mileage

[Blueblack]

forget it, I recently found out from workshop tat odo can be reset at less than $50

is good money for dealer, they reduce your selling price $500 / 1000 for a high mileage ride and spend $50 and sell as super lower mileage car whish cal easy fetch another $1000.

It sud b illegal to set back the odo. Its cheating.

 

Maybe can complain to CASE but in SG, it seems like to cheat customers is the normal practice now.

 

Very hard for a customer to fight & win any case unless got 110% proof & black & white. Even then to get back any $$$ is going to b quite tough.

 

There is very little protection for consumers in SG unlike most developed countries. Our standards r maybe 3rd world only.

[laugh] could be coincidence. both car reg same date, same color.. but 1 super "cheong" driver & the other 1 not.

Good luck to the new owner.

So next time I selling my car, I will also chnage the mileage for $50.

Send for polish and help to get finance for buyer.

This way, can earn the same profit like these dealers!

 

 

[Ah_tee]

this is a normal practice

 

my friend sold his car at 60,000 mileage to dealer.

 

saw on sgcarmart become 30,000

Wah, Now seems like in SG anything goes.

 

I wonder if there is a gharmen dept who is supposed to look into these kind of things? Or they just say "Buyer beware".

[Davidklt]

30,500 km is not too high..dunno why they still wanna misreport..

[Chilz]

wonder do C&C able to check whether the car mileage meter hv been tune before?

[Benarsenal]

It is illegal, and in many countries offenders can be jailed for it.

 

If this is rampant practice then the relevant authorities should do something and clamp down on it.

 

It's a shame that people have to resort to such measures just to earn some extra money.

[Vextan]

so if set mileage to zero, can claim it is a new and unused car ? just kidding.

call or go dwn and check with AD if the car is frm AD... if PI then i guess to bad if not serviced by comfort...

 

seriously when buying a 2nd hand car, look out for belt wear... noisy rings... vibrative engine/drive... and so much more... etc... looking at the mileage to decide on the purchase of a car is not very smart...

 

just my opinion...

120K mileage becomes 50K mileage also seen it before!
