I ordered a history report on my car and upon seeing the auction pics I came upon a couple of surprises, my car used to have a roof scoop and front driving LED lamps.

I could have been a God on many Facebook owner groups with a fully functional roof scoop.

 

Suits you sir...

 

Has the guy in the front seat committed hari-kiri with the shame of it?

 

He was probably stealing the head unit.

 

How did you do a history report pal

 

From carvx.jp it'll cost you about £26 for a report on any JDM import plus you get the auction report plus any pics taken, good value for money in my opinion.

 

Look like mine was at the same place. Kobe I think?

 

Yes that's correct.

 

is the report translated in English allready ?
Worth £26 just for the pics

 

Did they sell well on "those special" pages

Did you get a JEVIC?

 

I share your shame, but thankfully the genuine thing was still underneath

 

At least there is a proper roof vent underneath and it's not just a upside down stuck on sandwich box

 

Yes it is, and they will translate the auction report into English for you for 500 Yen. The report verifies that the car hasn't been written off, damage repaired etc pretty similar to our HPi reports.


Yes I have the JEVIC sticker and the verification certificate as well.


It came as a surprise to me, at least there was no damage or marks on the roof as it's all still the original paint.

 

You're right that would have made me an outcast from SIOC rather than a God on there.

 

 

Just did mine today aswell
got butterflies now waiting to see what comes back
suppose to have been in country since new question is how new

You've made it a rather interesting week for me mr cannon fodder and £26 out of pocket hope there's a few pics ehhh

 

Start worrying when it comes back like this!!!

 

Ooooh **** Hope not

 

Better to know the truth about the car rather than live in uncertainty.

I'm sure it'll be fine, and if not just destroy the report.

 

Defo sounds a plan

 

Wounded no pics or auction sheet
but on the other hand atleast I know it's been in country since new and all is clear

 

When I got the report on a car I was buying it was interesting to see the cars are checked for radiation from Fukushima.

Think these reports are invaluable when buying imports.

 

Your car looks like it was bought straight from a Japanese dealer and then exported from there so there would be no auction report or pics.


But at least it shows it wasn't written off, repaired or damaged before export and it left Japan before it had the optional glow in the dark pack added for free.


Thankfully they do carry out these checks, and they have to declare it before being put up for auction plus I think some cars over there will have been so long in the irradiated areas that they can never be sold on.
