Police report before buying a used car?
Hyaenidae replied to Re@l_B's question in Car Buying Information
There is no other info beyond what the CR has on the 150/- online report -
Suggested it once and I'll do it again; The Lancer

You'll find this information useful. Spend 1 mil to buy a car and use the rest on repairs it would need + a comprehensive maintenance service + maybe a new paint job since you want the car to look good. Take a look at Presealover's car for example - it went from this to this
-
I reckon this is another reason why regular waxing is necessary... it would prevent most of the impurities (tree sap, bird droppings, tar etc) from baking on to the paint And they think waxing is merely done for the shine and often don't bother to do it... the Axio I've posted above looked shiny and clean in a distance, but when you take a closer look the swirl marks are clearly visible.
-
If I ever attempt polishing the car I think I'll buy a cheap paint thickness gauge off ebay first ($15-$20) to make sure I don't take off more clearcoat than necessary... and then give it a glass coating afterward. But seeing as there are almost no swirl marks on the clearcoat for the 4 years of ownership (guess the spray wax did a good job protecting the clearcoat?) I don't think I'll have to polish it anytime soon...

I've made my mind up to never polish the car after reading this https://meguiarsonline.com/forums/showthread.php?36258-Mercedes-500-Complete-wetsand&p=347968&viewfull=1#post347968

Saw this 2015 Axio parked next to my car in the blazing sun today... (Mine is 2014) I haven't polished the car even once to this date, all I've done is 1-2 spray wax sessions every month after washing the car.

Do the warning lights come on? Is the gear lever on park? Did you try depressing the brake and then pushing the button? Did you try pushing the start button with the key fob?

If you're willing to be lenient towards these requirements you have much newer options for a 3 million budget. Since you'll have a loan to repay you need to keep the garage visits to a minimum, preferably only for routine maintenance at least until its repaid - and since you'll be using the vehicle for 6-7 years it's best if you can go for newest options available. However, most of those choices are hatchbacks and not Honda.

Well, he SHOULD know, he owns an Allion himself, prior to that a 121, so...

Yup the CR-V would be definitely better on acceleration, Monty is a hardcore off roader with a great towing capability

Are you looking for the OBD port ? ELM327 OBD readers cannot read most JDM cars since they use a protocol not recognized by ELM327 readers, if you connect the reader to the port and can't get it to read the ECU that might be the case Sent from my Nokia 1100 using AutoLanka.com mobile app powered by Tapatalk

The easiest way would be getting down a temperature gauge which plugs into the OBD port... like this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/AUTOOL-X60-OBD-METER-OBD-2-HUD-Digital-Temperature-Gauge-Digital-Voltage-Speed-Meter-Display-Meter/32855225299.html

If you're looking at the GE6, it was recalled for an engine oil burning issue (along with the GP1) - the permanent fix was to replace the piston kit with redesigned ones. Read the discussion on engine oil burning issue here Official Recall notice by Honda here

1.5L Turbo 1NZ huh? Wonder if its a direct bolt on to a 121...or an Allion or a Premio... how cool would that be Sent from my Nokia 1100 using AutoLanka.com mobile app powered by Tapatalk

CS1 manual can do 15+ outstation easily if you keep the fuel economy in mind... CS3 does better though

Might make a creamy mess in their pants if they see a WagonR then ?

Lancer CS2/CS3. CS1 would be good too if you're OK with a 1.3L engine. It's a little less fun to drive when compared with CS2 or CS3. You can buy a 2006+ one for your budget (CS1, manual) - that's newer than most Jap sedans you can buy for this budget. CS1 and CS3 which were imported brand new by the agent have the high ground clearance suspension. Stock suspension has 165mm ground clearance AFAIK. There are plenty of CS1 cars to choose from; you might be able to find an absolute minter like this one - CS2 and CS3 ones are a bit hard to come by.
