I have no complaints with regards to the mechanical aspects of the car. He presented me with a "new" LTO registration. But we're in the philippines and of course even government records can be made to show figures and data that may not really be accurate (somebody in the LTO can be paid to this end).
Guys, please help. This issue is the only thing stopping me from buying the car. I want to know if its a 1997 or if an earlier model, of course it would help me negotiate for a lower price.
