And it doesn't make sense to complain as it will just fall on deaf ears. On looking through the service history it said that the vehicle had 130,000km on last service, which they claim that the vehicle had 60,000km. I could the odometer reading was incorrect because the forget to remove the service history book from the vehicle.

I suggest to stay far away from them.įirst off they roll back the odometer and advertise fake odometer readings. I purchased a vehicle from tradecarview (TC-V) under the seller Carnival Co LTD, and it was one of my worst experiences ever. In my case, they had about 6 photos and they deliberately did not photo the front windshield to hide the large crack. Photos of font, rear, sides and the under body of the vehicle as many of those vehicle may have rust on the under body so the sellers will neglect to take a photo of the under body of the vehicle. Some sellers tend to display very dull photos on their listings to hide details of the vehicle, If there isn't enough photos ask them to take more photos and email them to you. The mileage at the top will be the most recent mileage. I have highlighted in red the chassis number of the vehicle and in green the mileage of the vehicle. I have attached a photo of and example of an export certificate. So ensure that the document has all these details.

In my case those scammers deliberately covered up the mileage on the document before sending me photos of the export certificate and i was completely unaware of this until it was too late. If includes the correct vehicle vin / chassis number, along with the correct mileage of the vehicle. This is an official document issued for all vehicles that are to be exported from japan. Some may not have an auction sheet as the vehicle may have been purchased privately, If so move to tip #2.Ģ) Always, always and always ASK FOR THE VEHICLE EXPORT CERTIFICATE. If you do not speak Japanese you can use google translate to assist you with translating the auction sheet. Here are some tips to avoid getting scammed by those little rascals on TC-Vįact: Most cars listed there are bought at auction and will give you a good items of the condition of the car.
