I've heard there's lots of scam on that website but it seems like sad reality of entire used car market.
>>28852448How can it be a scam? If you go look at a car and there is no car, don't buy it.
>>28852450>How can it be a scam? If you go look at a car and there is no car, don't buy it.Imported from the USA and sold in Poland as "accident-free"https://joemonster.org/art/26843
>>28852492Obviously you should check for prior accidents when you're paying over 1k.
>>28852492I had a copart account (was looking for a specific crashed bike for parts) and it was absolutely fucking amazing how 90% of the vehicles sold were to overseas bidders.They bought garbage left and right and I guarantee they all had a similar fate.It was interesting though how you started to notice specific vehicles/bikes were bought by the same countries. Like Arab countries would get in bidding wars over Audis while Austria/Italy/Czech liked to fight over dualsport / adventure bikes.
>>28852492why would you think mobile.de is to blame for those scams?
>>288525410_0
>>28852448just how retarded are you?
posted my old car there and got literally 100 calls in the first 10s. 30 of them from one number. In one second...Needless to say none of these called ever again and it took a few extra weeks of dealing with imbeciles before getting rid of the car.Also, used car dealerships have always been scammy, just because they can now enter their upgraded scrap metal there doesn't change that.
>>28852492sold as accident-free is good because you can just repair it and drive it, if it was sold as damaged you'd have to go through the bureaucracy of trying to convince them that it's not damaged anymore
>>28854374ive only used mobile de once trying to buy a car and i want to say bullshit because you couldnt just contact the seller, you would need to email them trough the site. But then its been like 6 years so something mightve changed
>>28852492>polandthats your problem, not mobile.de.most of europe require a clean title when importing from usa, a salvage or rebuildt title cannot be imported.
>>28852492That article is so old it would be too old for Epstein's island. Now I'm not saying this doesn't happen anymore at all because I've seen plenty cumaros and mentally challengeds leaving four tire marks behind them but it's just not to the same extent as it was before. Also if it was properly fixed then who cares, assuming the seller isn't lying about it being an accident free car.Also at this point I just assume every even slightly sporty adjacent car over 20 years old had at least a fender bender in its life.
>steal the car you really like in germany>buy scraps of totaled said car in the us>swap vinsyou now legally own your dream car for a fraction of price
>>28852541nothing surprising. Europe has low labour cost compared to US expensive labour cost (and thus they write-off the smallest accidents because reparis are usually not worth it), cars new or used are also generally cheaper in the US, so it is a bargain to do this, its a huge market of US "salvage' imports espescially in eastern europe.
