I have come across wrongly quoted year of make before while shopping for one. Presumably to get a higher price by quoting a later year.next, do check the meter panel (speedometer, etc) if it's been tampered with of changed. Many cars have their mileage re-clocked. One mechanic in subang offered to re-clock mine before for RM400. And a friend of mine when he changed his due to a fault, realised his mileage was actually higher as the on-board computer which stores such info reset the actual mileage on the new meter panel.pre-facelift models with rear lights changed to face-lift ones need some conversion kit which sits under the spare tyre area. Sorry, can't remember what it's called. But it costs around RM600 not counting the rear lights set. If not installed, it will cause the rear face-lift lights to burnout.oops, that was tiga sen actually. hope it helps. finally, if a salesman is too arrogant these days to make any repairs prior to a sale, just walk away. if they don't even care about what you can see, just imagine the areas you can't see. not worth the headache that will surely come later.</blockquote>
