IcyFire Neutral Newbie February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 STA or AAS evaluation are the more widely accepted ones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneStock 5th Gear February 15, 2013 Author Share February 15, 2013 STA or AAS evaluation are the more widely accepted ones. I don't trust STA evals. I heard AAS is quite good but I don't know them personally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte3737 5th Gear February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 you do not need know them personally. just make an appoinment, job done, then pay money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcfguy 1st Gear February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 how is the process like? After making the appointment, do you have to be personally there with the seller or second hand car dealer during inspection? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newdrive 1st Gear February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 I heard AAS is quite good but I don't know them personally. the first car i eyed (honda jazz) i sent for AAS check... result came back quite bad... so didn't buy the car. so bought a vios instead (after send to AAS check, no major problem just wear and tear). u can search for my thread to see the sample report I received from AAS. its better then just A, B, C, D grading by STA.

BoneStock 5th Gear February 15, 2013 Author Share February 15, 2013 thanks for sharing. I prefer a mech to AAS or STA because he can tell me where are the problem areas as well as the repairs needed if I were to take over the car. He will also tell me the estimated repair costs so that I can make further negotiations with the dealer if I still want to buy the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Briansoh 1st Gear February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 Those are called cut and shut where they cut up another car and tack weld it onto the car they are repairing. Seen it done before on a Getz at Sin Ming there. Super shocking and very dangerous in the even of accident. Possible for car to break into two.

Newdrive 1st Gear February 15, 2013 Share February 15, 2013 (edited) Those are called cut and shut where they cut up another car and tack weld it onto the car they are repairing. Seen it done before on a Getz at Sin Ming there. Super shocking and very dangerous in the even of accident. Possible for car to break into two. dats why AAS will check these and let u know the history of the car. rightfully a mechanic should be able to tell this too... but unless the car is driven to a workshop and jack up to check... else physical eyes impossible to see one. STA dun tell u this... they just give u A, B, C or D grading... that's all. not much details. Edited February 15, 2013 by Newdrive Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
