    Tignan mo nalang ang LTFRB, LTO, ASBUllsh*t, so-called "accredited" emission centers, kahit sobrang dilapidated na ang vehicle and close to a fumigator na kung bumuga ng usok, pagka daan sa mga "accredited," "gov't recognized," and "reputable" agencies na yan, kaya padin nilang ipasa or even gawing brand new ang papers.

    So kung yan ang mag-aaccredit sa kotse na bibilhin ko, I'd rather bring it to my trusted shop or trusted mechanic to do the work. Baka pag sila, kahit ung engine is held by a thread and kulang kulang na ang screws and bolts, papasa padin sa kanila in terms of road worthiness.
    Tsk tsk tsk.... Kawawang Las Islas Filipinas.

    Anyway chief, i'm not buying 2nd hand units sa ating bansa. We always get brand new units BUT ONLY at the most opportuned time that's why we wait. If i were the gentleman asking about the 2nd hand D-max, and only if i were him, i won't buy a used unit.... But it is his call and i wish him goodluck.

    Our trusted mechanics (yours and mine) are not that as skillfull as the others with a certified car inspectors badge. We may feel that our own mechanics or even tuner-calibre friends are enough to assess a used unit, but actually it is not at some more detailed degree....

    ....But this is only my point of view coming from what i've seen in Philippines and elsewhere ;)

    Cheers!
