^^Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Greatly appreciate the help.

We did get to test drive the unit, we didn't catch any problems naman. Our driver said it's in good condition. Re reservation fee, it's a relatively small amount but the dealer told us he's willing to do a refund if ever we decide not to get the unit. The dealer is a Korean dude, ang kausap namin was his assistant. My guts tell me the guy's ok naman. Hehe. Sabi ng assistant buy and sell daw talaga ng cars ang business niya dito sa Pinas.

What do we look out for to make sure all the papers are clean and in order? Sabi ng assistant open deed of sale daw. The unit is still under the name of the original owner, a Korean lady.
