Singapore Honda Club

Hi all,

I am getting a pre-owned 2nd hand car (Aug 06) Honda Civic 1.6A from a car dealer. The car has a low mileage of 20,000km.

Fortunately, it received an overall grading of B from STA Inspection.

Breakdown of the result includes:

-- Chasis Frame Measurement - PASS
-- General Engine Condition - A
-- Bodywork/Foor Board - B
-- Paint Work - A
-- Mechanical and Electrical System - A
-- Under Carriage - B
-- Oil Leakage - A
-- Road Test
-- Steering System - A
-- Brake System - B
-- Transmission - A
-- Clutch System - NA
-- Suspension System - A
-- Drive Shaft/Final Drive - A
-- Wheel Bearing/Tire Noise - B
-- Rigidity of Bodywork/Instrument Panel -A
-- Exhaust Noise -A

Overall Remark:
1. Vehicle Rear Panel Sign of Touch-up
2. Vehicle Front Bumper Sign of Touch-up

My Doubts:
1. Given such low usage of car (20,000km), does the 'B' grades and remarks entails accidents has/have been involved.
2. If so, should i proceed to get the car?

I am a first time car owner and i hope any bro and sis can give your opinions/comments.

Thanks!

I just bought my 2nd hand car and went through STA inspection and got 'A'.
But after my mechanic checked the car, found that the suspension needs to change. So I wonder how accurate the report is...

Better to bring along a friend and test drive the car.

Avoid buying.... "A"grade from STA then can "consider to buy", cos to me their "A" grade is the "just pass" grade.....if a car cannot be graded "A", then it must be really "not so good".

Well that's just my opinion & experience from getting my last 3 second-hand cars.
