[QUOTE="alxy, post: 396923, member: 2947"] Well, depends on how extensive you want to do the checkup. My guess is around RM50-100. Dealership won't send it there. They don't want the hassle and the risk that actually car turns out to have some major problem and you pull out. Also, it's best that you send it there personally. If dealership does it for you, then you have to take their word that nothing is wrong with the car, which sort of defeats the purpose of sending it to 3rd party workshop in the first place. What you expect from this is for mechanic to tell you if any problems with car. If OK, no issue. If problem, then you have to decide if problem is bad enough that you cancel the sale, or ask for further discount/warranty. Normally for recond cars, they will just warranty 1 month only and even that for engine and gearbox only. In my case, I found a potential problem with alternator. While they didn't want to give me discount, nevertheless I insisted if any problems they warranty it. True enough, it conked after about 2 weeks and I got a replacement from the dealer. [/QUOTE]
