Judge has ruled if it was alright during inspection, it should be alright and Lemon Law would not apply.
Where is your source ?
You try to smoke who ?

For a typical car buyer who is worried about buying a problem car, and who does not possess any mechanical knowledge - the most important variable is to get an understanding of all the previous owner's driving profile - is the person a fast driver? likes hard cornering? does outdoor sales? Pretty much what an insurance company would ask.
Generally if the car interior and exterior looks factory stock, has original paintwork, has original rims (very important), unused spare wheel (can tell by looking at the lug holes and tire), unused jack, has nice branded tyres (eg michelin), clean battery compartment with NO extra cabling for accessories, complete ABSENCE of any bodykit, and the transfer count is only 1 and low mileage - then I would just go ahead and buy without inspection, after a test drive.
It is almost a guaranteed safe buy.
i just bought a car without doing inspection cause dealer told me if do inspection then they dont cover already. if i dont do they give me 6 month cover engine cover gearbox..
Guess beside the point of being fearful about getting a lemon; the LAW; itself is not clear to the members of public aka buyers how we are protected from this Lemon's Law?If scare here and there, just go and buy new car.

That sounds a bit risky.. what if it's an issue not related to engine/gearbox then wouldn't you be screwed? Hmmm but no point worrying, enjoy your Mini! It's a fun car to drive for sure
I remembered your thread on taking the dealer to court, was this the quote that the judge said for your case?
If don't trust dealer's pre-sales inspection, I guess the only option left is to bring to workshop of buyer's choosing for said inspection, take plenty of photos of all critical components, sign new agreement on the car's condition before and after collection. As to any of these hold any water in the court of law is another question by itself.
CASE??And it should be addressed by lobbying this with CASE.
CASE, MTI whatever it takes to kick-start a review of existing legislationCASE??
Hhhmmmmm......
https://www.mti.gov.sg/legislation/...(Fair-Trading)-Act-and-Hire-Purchase-Act.aspxClearer rules on burden of proof: The new draft legislation would also provide clearer rules on the burden of proof. If a defect is found within six months of delivery, it is assumed that the defect existed at the time of delivery, unless the retailer can prove otherwise (See Example 3), or if such a presumption is incompatible with the nature of the goods (e.g. perishable goods would not be expected to last longer than their normal shelf life). If the defect is found after six months of delivery, it is for the consumer to prove that the defect existed at the time of delivery.

A used car is not new. You are bound by common sense to have problems in the car. There is no way practically a used car dealer able to give you something that has no problem. Because it is not a new car, its history cannot be proven.
Proof or no proof, think TS is taking about once the car is sent for inspection, buyer aka owner had automatically gave up the right to claim through lemon law??https://www.mti.gov.sg/legislation/...(Fair-Trading)-Act-and-Hire-Purchase-Act.aspx
It is all centered around this thing called burden of proof - the pre-sales inspection report enables the seller to "proof" that no defect existed at time of delivery. whether how defendable this "proof" is, is another question, considering that there is usually time gap between inspection date and delivery date
Used car sales people around the world are typically smooth talking, well-built tattooed men. Same pattern in malaysia or america. It takes a certain personality to buy crap from others at the lowest price, do some cosmetic touch-up and then flip it to an unsuspecting buyer whom he can smell from 10 km away and make the buyer drop some nice pennies for some hot ****. Then rinse and repeat while avoiding the cops with his seasoned responses.
