Foreign Used Car, How Much Damage Is Too Much? by timifakay(op): 10:57am On Apr 02, 2019
Hello all, so I was watching a live auction yesterday and I saw this car deal which appears cheap. Its the highlighted Corolla in the image below.

So, it was bought for $550 before charges and taxes, putting charges at $200, it sums up to $750, if trucking forklift and other expenses amount to $1500, so with about the $2300 as an approximate the car will be at Tincan port.

The above cost is just a guess and not a certainty.

Dealer will cut corners and buy quarter body, fender, bonnet etc and paint For 150k-200k. Then will sell for 1.6m and above, Whereas 1.6m won't land clean title of same car

This would ultimately be a very unsafe vehicle.
