The livelihood of the potong kereta shops will also be affected. The lower income group will also be affected if they have to buy new parts. I understand the government's concern about the safety of used parts. They had also proposed mandatory inspections of all cars over 15 years old  before road tax renewal but I believe  this had been scrapped.I would rather they inspect my car every year  than ban import of used parts. This will also stop unroadworthy cars off the road. I am sure everyone has seen rust baskets being driven on the highway at one time or another and wondered why they are still allowed to be driven when they are  in such bad condition. In the US cars are inspected annually regardless of age before their registration are renewed. I am still hoping the government will change its mind on the ban on import of used parts. Like you, I also buy some  parts on ebay ; some new and some used. I have 2 DHL packages coming from Germany next week!Arsenalboi,I saw my car outside a mechanic's workshop while driving around and made him an offer so I don't have any leads on any other cars like mine for sale. I was quite lucky, my car still has its original engine.I am doing my best to restore it using original parts as much as possible.Cheers.66BMW2000</blockquote>
