The RX300 tale... sigh...

Bo and I have decided to get a car from here and ship to KK for our use there. We figured that it would be cheaper that way to have my choice of car, unless of course we were misinformed..

Last Sunday, we found the one car that I liked... Before we reserve the car, we wanted to get a mechanic down to do a thorough check on the car's condition... We also wanted to have a look at the registration card.. Just in case..

I didn't mention this, I saw this car on Mudah first.


As it turned out.. interestingly, the car's previous owner is Bo's friend. So, naturally Bo made a call to his friend.. More interestingly, the friend didn't even know that his car has been sold.. After second look at the card, we saw that the ownership of the car has been changed just recently in January 2010. Strangely, Bo's friend doesn't remember selling the car to anybody.. This car has been for his business partner's use since the purchase. And the transfer name on the card is his partner's name.. Mind you, this is NOT a company car.. Just a private car being borrowed by the business partner.. And this partner has been siphoning money out of the company's account before he went missing. Now, isn't that interesting?

Yesterday, Bo's friend called and told him not to buy the car because he wants to take legal action against this guy. A car that is involved in legal proceedings will definitely be held by the authority until the case's solved.. We don't want to risk that!

So, all my dream of sending the car on its way to KK in a cargo ship, with nylon slings, anchor Shackles, and car tie down straps is just that, a dream... :(

Now that that happened, we got to go look for another one.. But deep down, I still want that particular RX300. It's human nature, you always want one that you can't get..

oooo...I guess it's not meant to be.. But think about it, God really does work in His mysterious way. The owner, who's also your husband's pal, didn't realise that he was being fraud and almost lost that car..

The ride's a cherry though...

Carol - Ya.. huge!! Almost 10k..

Nicole - I'll do that! Thanks!

Eugene - Fingers knotted!

Dee - Guess not! And yes, he's very grateful to us (for finding the car for him, albeit unintentionally.. hehe)
