You should take this complain to the Japanese Embassy - Kobe Motor Company will be taken to task and will be asked to refund part of the cost of the vehecle

Wrong. The Japanese Embassy is not "JUMVEA" - the organization that arbitrates in such cases. If you have a case against an importer (and this particular one will be hard to prove), then JUMVEA is the organization to approach. However, there is a caveat: Kobe Motor must be a member of JUMVEA in order for them to take up the case. The onus of verifying whether or not Kobe Motor (or any other Japanese Used Motor Vehicle Exporter) is a member of the A (Association) lies with the buyer. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Damn!!
