Not many are honest but there were very few honest ones I have found. My E39 was bought from a used car dealer along Jalan Genting Klang and my salesman was good and did everything he could to ensure the car is ok. In other words he was honest. He even admitted that the car may have been clocked even though he stopped short of admitting that he dealership did it.But like Iceman said, you need to do your due diligence. Buying used doesn't matter from owners or dealers, you must do your homework, test as many cars as you can and also check its history. The latter is easier if the car was sold from local dealers such as AB,Quill or Ingress/Sapura. Very hard to check the service history or even to verify the last mileage when the car last went in for a service if you are buying used imports.But buying from dealers are sometimes easier if you want to trade-in your car without going through the hassle of selling it yourself. Nonetheless you must choose your dealers carefully. Reputable ones are also sometimes not really honest when it comes to used car unless it is an approved used such as the AB premium selection. But you also pay a higher price than the outside dealers as they will throw in a good warranty and only the low mileage examples are traded.</blockquote>
