    Since this is my first post, I wanted to contribute something useful to everyone. Too bad it ahd to be in Goon Squad section though.

    May this also serve as warning to everyone buying "used" cars from car lots.

    Saw this ad here in tsikot:
    Not bad for a 6 year old hiace 60,000km

    http://tsikot.yehey.com/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/106606/cat/11

    But then after some research (thanks to yahoo)
    I SAW THIS AD!! (from Aug 2009)

    http://www.phadpost.com/ph/vehicles/...ickups_cavite/



    You be the judge!

    I posted in his ad asking what the deal was with the mileage discrepancy. Good for you looking out for other members.

    Owned by the TS. Ganito naman style ng mga dealer. Dadayain ang mileage to make it appear na competitive ang price. From 400k na original price ng original seller naging 480k pagdating sa dealer? Sa mga 2nd hand buyer, lalo na mga baguhan tulad ko, ingat po tayo. Always consider the overall condition ng sasakyan.

    Pansinin nyo lang mabuti yung dalawang pictures nung Hi-Ace. I noticed two differences:

    1. Nagbago ang windshield -- wala na yung maraming stickers sa salamin
    2. The plate number changed design from Rizal monument to plain Matatag na Republika (though the same number)

    Paano kaya nangyari y'un? hehehe...
