[QUOTE="PenangMari, post: 50333, member: 309"] Lesson to learn, check the VIN for details of the car especially year of manufacturer and engine model before commiting any money. No rush as there is plenty of such model around on sale. If the dealer con your friend by saying that car is 99 model and he has the proof, perhaps he can complain at the Consumer Tribunal. Basic model of 96 or 97 is selling around RM120k. It is a single VANOS model with M52 engine if I'm not mistaken. 99 model should come with multifunction steering and M54 engine with double VANOS. It uses something like 'fly by wire' throttle that makes the response quicker compare to the older M52 model. Dreaming of having the 99 onwards model for my next upgrade. I've got to have it.
