However you can check the car chassis to check for any sign of impact due to accident. Check the bulk head for any sign of seal broken etc. Check the undercarriage to see if there is any welding that is done recently.<br /><br />Hope this helpNighto Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263392459015842571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871130140450984030.post-9267220487097154042013-03-06T23:50:57.088+08:002013-03-06T23:50:57.088+08:00Hiii.

I will take the seat belt and toolbox cover to give me a hint. If I want a 2006 model I will make sure both of them tell me so.<br /><br />I guess you have to decide on your own if this is the unit for you.<br /><br />CheersNighto Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263392459015842571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871130140450984030.post-62407755858082782902011-03-06T19:58:08.841+08:002011-03-06T19:58:08.841+08:00Hi Nighto, Thanks for your feedback. The car is ac...Hi Nighto, Thanks for your feedback. The car is actually registered in May 2006 as the dealer showed me some documentations originating from Japan. From the japan partners website, it also states this information on the year of manufactured, <br />"Basic rule for 'first year of registration' it is in many cases not the same month as your vehicle month of manufacture. For popular models, it is usually 1-2 months after the car was manufactured. Let's say the month of the first registration for your 'Toyota Land Cruiser Prado' is July, 1997 in this case it is likely that the actual month of manufacture for this car is JUNE or MAY, 1997. For models which turned out not too be popular in Japan, the difference in manufacture month and the first registration month can be even longer than that."<br /><br />So the question is the Alphard considered a popular models in Japan, which if it is then it could well be manufactured in Jan 2006. What do you think?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871130140450984030.post-85348082013349975822011-02-28T01:43:38.171+08:002011-02-28T01:43:38.171+08:00Hi,

I have checked the chassis number from the web site you mentioned, http://www.japan-partner.com/check-manufacture-year.php. It came back as January 2006. However the seat belt label and the toolbox cover both indicated 2005!!. So is it 2005 or 2006 manufactured?? Appreciate your advice.

They provide those information to the public to help other to determine the year of manufacture.

However in 3 weeks time the car would exceed that. I guess that's the reason why the dealer want to push this car out as fast as he can. <br /><br />You'll need to decide if you want this car or you want another unit, either from the same dealer or another.<br /><br />CheersNighto Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263392459015842571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871130140450984030.post-2172149494269761922009-12-10T15:28:53.467+08:002009-12-10T15:28:53.467+08:00Sorry, what I meant is the car was manufactured in...Sorry, what I meant is the car was manufactured in May 2004, and registered at Japan in 2005.

If so then the car would have been brought in 2005 so it is likely that the car is manufactured before 2005.<br /><br />If your question is that the dealer claim that this "unregistered" car is manufactured in 2005 but then you found out that it is actually a 2004 car. In that case, you should go back to the dealer and asked for a refund!<br /><br />Well if you are buying a "registered car, meaning this is a 2nd hand car, then the year of manufacture doesn't matter anymore. Just make sure that the seller give you a copy of the original AP that is used for this car. <br /><br />Hope this helpNighto Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263392459015842571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8871130140450984030.post-75597901564653394832009-12-09T23:53:30.372+08:002009-12-09T23:53:30.372+08:00Hi, this is KC.
