A viral video on Tiktok rekindled the warning about the risks of buying used cars on Facebook Marketplace. Content creator Anthony (@Anthonyv299) reported the case of a client who acquired a Toyota Sequoia at a Walmart parking lot at night, and was eventually a victim of several blows.
By taking the vehicle to a workshop, he found that the car had serious mechanical problems, including flaws in the steering set, as well as a possible crash in the ABS module. To make matters worse, warning lights on the panel were covered with tape, hiding the defects.

The situation became even more serious after the history of history in the carfax. Although the odometer marked about 273,000 kilometers, the report revealed almost 482,000 km rounds, indicating that mileage had been tampered with.
Without information about the seller, the buyer was without legal support, a common scenario in transactions between individuals, where there are no guarantees or protection to the consumer.
Experts stress that while buying individuals can be cheaper, it is essential to pre-purchase inspection with a trusted mechanic and request the vehicle’s history through platforms such as Carfax.
