Another Reason Why You Should Tread Carefully When Buying Canadian Vehicles by mammanbawa: 10:35am On Sep 17, 2019 |
Kindly note; this is strictly a thread to educate potential buyers on this platform As we all know Canadian vehicles are known for one thing; rust That's why personally I stay away from the VIN (2t1******) {educated car dealers will understand} Not too long ago I received a whatsapp message from a dealer It was an ad for a 2008 Honda CRV, non accidented, flood free, bla bla bla As a dealer who wants to make money I contacted a fellow dealer who's into buying and selling wether it's a good buy or not I did all due diligence and the straw that broke the back came The vin report from carguide My first deal breaker was the keyword "Canada" I try as much as possible to stay away from Canadian vehicles with a few exceptions Duty checked out well, mileage was rolled back, only 3 visible rusts on the vehicle (no under pics) Vin report came Turns out at the point of import, the vehicle was not accidented or flooded as claimed But the vin report shows it had an accident in 2010 but was repaired For few years after purchase by the first user, car was treated against rust but subsequently treatment stopped Mileage was 293k Title is junk; As explained by carfax, a junk title is issued when the repair cost of a vehicle is more than 75% of the total cost of the vehicle The vehicle in question has no visible structural or mechanical damage, so what could the damage be that requires this title to be issued Oga enlightened me It's definitely a suspension issue Why? RUST Major attraction of the vehicle is the price (2.1m for a non accidented 2008 foreign used Honda CR-V, wowwwwwww) And the auction pics will tell an average buyer who care less about comprehensive vin report that the vehicle is accident free Basically, every buyer should make it a necessity to get a comprehensive vin report of the vehicle he wishes to purchase despite seeing the abroad pics which are usually attractive to the novices This is a case study and the wise buyers will take lessons Mad uneducated and misinformed miscreants will think of this as a pull me down tantric But I'm unbothered I've played my part I'll post pictures of the vehicle but I will not link it to the seller because he bought it without knowing what it actually is After informing him Price drastically reduced to 1.7m with duty paid (take note) All details will be posted 7 Likes 2 Shares |

Another issue to key into The site 'vincheckdotinfo' only run auction site checks and give reports from auction that's why the report below shows the car is not salvaged
