-For mileage confirmation please ask for orignal Export certificate of the car also know as Twan, A car cannot be exported from Japan with out this certificate

the information u provided is quite helpful. thumbs up for that. i have a question. CAN WE GET THE DETAILS OF THE AUCTION OR GENUINE MILEAGE OF THE CAR (TOYOTA VITZ 2008 IMPORTED IN NOV 2012) IF WE DONOT HAVE THE AUCTION SHEET WITH THE CAR? IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET IT IF WE HAVE THE CHASSIS OR ENGINE NUMBER?
waiting for a reply
thanks

^ Contact @sharabi, he can help you find your cars orignal auction sheet via chasis number, but if your cars a dealer car, you can check its mileage on the export certificate, it should be in your cars file.

Sorry guys didn't had enough time on hand to update this thread, I will update over the weekend. I am posting here some interior pictures, @chinyoti find the yellow auction report I was talking about.

Also Sharabi stopped helping others find auction reports long time ago, so I think only way to verify any report is to visit JapanPartner site.

@mhali, only auction sheet and rear view screen/mirror pics visible,

Yes that looks quite very much genuine.

mashaAllah, Not having the rear deck board realy annoys me, I might not get rear speakers even in the long run, altho i plan to get components in front lets see, What the fuel average figures your getting with your car?

initialy the guy whom i bought it from said it was giving around 9ish, gradualy it gave me 10, 11-12, last nite i refilled her at 490 kms @ about 35.83 liters (36) so it gave me 13.61/Liter which seems good.

My uncle drove my car today and he didnt like it at all, he said it too slugish and that my previus ones much better + the engine noise, I do agree to that but i guess thats how the CVT drives,

I think it worked now.

mhali (mhali) 2013-01-14 19:26:14 +0500 #110

Well to be very honest with you I filled it 3600 worth of gas and it lasted a week (I didn't calculated the mileage) I had 2011 Gli Auto it gave only 4 days on 3600. Although Last week I have filled my tank to full and I will let you know the mileage once it gets empty, I feel it a bit sluggish to but I think it's because of the CAT or throttle body/MAF sensor needs to be cleaned? it doesn't matter to me though because I use it for short distances.

It's not possible without having lot id, although with chassis number you can verify other details of the car such year, make and model.

mahmoodstarz (mahmoodstarz) 2013-01-15 09:57:45 +0500 #112

how can i get the car info i.e. year, make, model etc thru chassis number. any website? link? thanks

Dear PW members kindly see the ad and see if the auction sheet provided is genuine. I can't seem to find it on Japan-partner.com although the poster says it landed in Karachi in fen, 2013

The sheet looks quite legit, Maybe Mhali can track it, I personaly dont know how to get it checked, If you like the car go ahead, mileage could be genuine if the dealer provides you the orignal auction sheet and export certificate, (see the mileage on the export certificate aswell).

-FAT is floor Automatic, CAT is column AT that is in Passo
-5D is 5 door (4 doors + 1 hatchback door) Mehran, Alto, Cutlus all such cars are called 5 door.
-4 Is the over all condition, C is exterior grade, A is interior grade.
-19,470kms how ever dont justify the tires condition, tires are rated on a scale of 1-10, 1 being worst, 10 being best.

How to get an auction sheet translated from Japanese to english ???

chinyoti (Murtaza Shahid) 2013-03-26 10:01:10 +0500 #119

^ You need a translator for that, Other wise theirs no possibility.

Sdogar (Sdogar) 2013-03-26 12:02:07 +0500 #120

No online option ???
@flyboys

This auction sheet is not found in online auction database, checked from japan partner as well as from here : ???????? ????????. ???????????? ??????. ??????? ???????? ???????????. ??????? ???????? ???????????. ???????? ?????????? ? ?????????. ???? ?? ??????. ????????????.

so either it is more than 3 months old sold in japan or it is fake. Ask from the person when it was sold in auction in japan and if he says less than 3 months then it surely is fake.
