JapaneseOdoCheck

I know I'm about one month past the last post but if they are still available I am willing to pay your asking price + Postage to Sydney. You have been pm'd

Iron Chef should be about right. You will get Odometer Readings from before 2006-2007 but you car would have to be exported after that period. That being said though, I have done an R32 GTR and a 300ZX and a 180sx imported in the early 2000's which did return odometer readings from 2001. So it is a unexplainable situation.

If I cant obtain papers you will get a refund. I should be able to obtain them from the veginning of time.

I can obtain for you the de-registration certificate of the vehicle from Japan. I hope this is not advertising. PM me for any details.

Agreed.

I just wanted to defend my company. Apologies

Did you check your Junk Folder because that is where mine ended up

These certificates should not be relied upon as the bible, as essentially your buying a used vehicle from another country. They should merely be a gauge to identify if there has been significant windback. Of course, the critics would argue that I drove my GT-R and wound it back. And there is nothing to say that might not be a case. Remember, you are buying a Used Vehicle ; there is always a risk being taken in your purchase.

Noticed today that the dealer in question has signed up to the forum today.

You are correct, I believe this is another GTR that Joe@Xtreme has in stock.

None of the vehicles above appear to have experienced any odometer windback. However, this is not a 100% surety, merely a gauge.

Attached are the full check results including translations for those who are interested. (in PDF Format) One vehicle is missing due to a clerical error and the certificate for that vehicle will be posted up as soon as I receive it.

As requested by Joe, the results have been posted up here. Make what you make of it. I merely provided the service. If you are interested in anything similar for your vehicle, feel free to give me a PM. Regards, JOC

I merely want the word to be spread. Convincing the dealership to check every one of its imports can only be done by societal pressure and that can only be achieved if people know such checks are available? The way I see it, I would want a potential import customer to know that there is legitimate paperwork available for all Japanese imports here.

Bakemono, Before you judge me... I make $5 a check. I am confident my business is going to make me a millionaire. (Note the sarcasm) The business makes so little funds its not even feasible to have a website and pay hosting fees and probably not enough to be a trader on this forum considering I would be lucky to make $30 a month. So, this really is my genuine attempt to at least clean up the import scene that I am passionate about and treat myself to a nice meal at the end of the month. What are you doing to help/stop this occurring? As far as I can see, nothing besides attempting to put me/my business down.

I have received payment from Joe and will process the checks. I appreciate the support from fellow forum members and this is a small but significant step in ensuring that we try to warn buyers before they purchase their "genuine,clean" imports.

Thank you for the advice. Will be contacting a forum admin in regards to this.

Nothing fishy with me. Google brought me here. Realized signing up may be beneficial for my business.

Just to chime in.. The Car's KM's are definitely taken down when de-registered. Every Customer's cert I have seen as a deregistration odo-check done ; a month before the Planned Date of Export on the Certificate.

That is good to hear Joe. Payment Details have been sent to you and as you requested, the results will be posted up on this thread as soon as they are available. If Payment is received by close of business today, the results will definitely be out before the weekend. Regards, JOC

Thank you for your reply DodgyImports. $80 on a $15,000+ Investment equates to less then 1%. Let me be exact here it equates to 0.0053% of the purchase price ! Please explain to me how that is indeed not good value at all? Joe is the first dealer to jump onboard after I've had numerous customers from all around Australia in the past 3 months since I've opened up business. What motivated me to open up this business was the purchase of an import myself in September last year through a dealer here in Sydney (Not Xtreme, but I'm not mentioning names) When I confronted the dealer with the certificate their response to me was "We feel bad, and for that we will give you trade-price servicing on your vehicle!". That not only outraged me but made me go as far as to spread the word that such documentation was available and take it into my own hands to assist others in this matter. If Joe does indeed come onboard and hopefully with every one of his stock, it will be a first to ensuring a fair playing field for Imports from Dealers here in Australia. Just to be clear here, there will be two reading on the odometer certificate, one when it was deregistered in Japan and another from when it went for it's previous Shaken (bi-annual registration check). My vehicle for example, read 42,700 in 2005 and 77,300 in 2007 when it was deregistered. However it was sold to me in 2012 with 60,371 ? It was brought in by an import company in 2007 and sold to its owner then with 38,000 and the owner put in on consignment at a dealer ( who should have checked the car's genuinity before placing it on their lot) and sold it to me. What other way do you think we can resolve this situation, BakeMonoRicer? I'd love to hear

Good morning, I woke up today to a PM from Joe@Xtreme asking me to do a background check on a few of his vehicles. I am more then happy to do this, but I would have to make him pay for it like each of my customers do. I've already replied to his PM offering him to be the first business to take a leap into obtaining genuine paperwork from Japan to their doorstep, we shall see what his reply is. I think $80 per certificate (delivered to him in a week) is not a bad price at all ! The question is now about whether or not he will take the leap. I will not carry out checks on car he thinks are genuine for free out of my own wallet just to support his case ( no offence intended Joe) Regards, JOC
