[QUOTE="Peter Sauber, post: 462264, member: 7350"] hi jsbmw, Two things that come to my mind when we are on grey imports. (1) M-sport version i'm a bit sceptical over the m-sport version from overseas i.e. grey imports. i hv heard of the importers just brought in the ordinary ones and fixed the m-sport stuff like steering, suspension and bodykits here. best of all, the bodykits are not m-sport but only the replicas which u may not be able to tell the difference. (2) Mileage and service records There are a lot of opinion on the above but at the end of the day there isnt a conclusive evidence to suggest that the mileage is accurate. Largely, i'm not sure whether a 5-year old car for example has only 20 odd thousand of km on it. It is a bit unbelievable. I have heard of some guys who bought cars with 20k-30k mileage on them but have alternator, water pump and oil leakage problems. These items are normally good for use at 20k-30k mileage...then how can they go kaput so fast whereas like mine which is a AB one with 60k all these items are still good? Conclusion is i would rather get the local ones such as AB, sapura, etc. (although maybe pay a bit more but we have peace of mind) which i'm sure about the mileage and service record. Sorry guys, just my 2 sen...and i stand to be corrected... :-) [/QUOTE]
