This link:ic, actually can fight one, i feel. pre-inspection also does not cover every 10,001 component and function in the car... STA only states certain basic things... for sure, they won't check for tampering of odometer
drink, but didn't drive

Posted since july 2013 wor.
Coming close to 3 years le.
Hhhmm no hard feeling but that is almost as good as asking people to buy new car better right =×
Guess not alot of people believe it Lemon Law(guess this is the topic about?)?
Lemon law is more applicable to new parts. Used parts should not even be under the lemon law unless someone certifies the condition meet certain requirements within a certain timeframe.
Otherwise buyers with unrealistic approach to lemon law and quality will start to abuse this for their own good.

https://www.mti.gov.sg/legislation/...(Fair-Trading)-Act-and-Hire-Purchase-Act.aspxExample 6 - Reasonable expectations of second-hand goods
• Someone buying a 10-year-old car from a dealer could not reasonably expect it to perform like a new car. However, he could expect it to perform in a manner that may be reasonably expected of a car of that mileage and model. If it does not perform as reasonably expected, the consumer can seek remedies from the dealer.
Think most people buying non-conti car left with less than 5 years wor.
The pre-owned you stated may sound abit on the higher side?
of course, where possible, i believe people would like to buy new, but i think there are constraints for some like cash outlay

Look at this case thou, after an hour of handing the issue to the right authority, the van went off without any action taken.
All left with frustration for the driver(victim) to bear.
It would seems that if the car is send for pre-sales inspection, it would be considered as defects free even though the inspection is a visual inspection only.
The main reason for sending for pre-sales inspection is to see if car had major accident before.
This may open the door for dealer to mask the defects before sending for inspection and remove it after inspection is done.
As long as human judges and lawyers are required, and as long as the legal process and sentencing cannot be automated, it means there are tonnes and tonnes of grey areas. Not just for used cars. There will always be people exploiting the system for profit, just like computers getting hacked.
If our PM banning official internet access is any indicator, it just means the dark side has prevailed. After 29 yrs from a humble beginning of teleview, which later gave rise to singnet, we are slowly going back into 'caves'. Its no joke out here in cyberspace. Scammers can simply pay for highly polished hacking tools which evolved for the past 20yrs.
Just like getting scammed online, there is no replacement for due diligence. Even then, many continue to get ripped off and the numbers can only increase. I mean are we hearing less cases of online scamming? No.... cases keep going up, leading to more people turning to the dark side for a living.
I am clueless what the authorities can do. Bear in mind if things tilt a certain way to please you, it may cause inconvenience to others and also make car ownership even more costly.
Stupid people will always have to pay more for the same thing.
Smart people will always pay less but their due diligence also costs time and money.
Lan par pa lan. So dont worry too much. There is no cure and buying a used car will always be a gamble.

The judge duno such thing can undertable one ah
judges don't even walk among us, how do they know what happens in the little life of hoi polloi?
Don't send for inspection oso cannot. Later a lot of problems n u dunno n drive it away only to realise got a lot of problems.
The best is just take it as lemon law is non-existent in used cars. Only buy from more established dealers n avoid those small dealers. Just let these small fries fold up. Survival of the fittest. Most of them are crooks anyway.
