Isaac posted a video on TikTok to report that he had made an appointment with a man to see the Nissan Altima which had been announced in Facebook Marketplace for a price too good to be true.
Recording with his glasses equipped with a hidden camera, the content creator showed how he gave the car a good inspection and even ran a scanner to make sure everything was ok.
“It looks good,” says Issac in the recording, before asking the owner: “[O carro] Is there a problem?” The owner then shrugged and replied: “No”.
However, when looking under the hood, Isaac noticed a worrying detail, which he detailed in the caption: “The engine is completely full of rat feces, which means it has been sitting for some time.”
Isaac then decided to take the Altima for one test drive. On the way, he noticed that the steering wheel was shaking a lot. He mentioned this to the salesman during the trip. Upon returning to the parking lot where they were, Issac says: “I like him.”
Then he pulled out his cell phone to open the record Carfax of the vehicle and find out if there was something wrong with the car that the seller had not mentioned. It was there that he discovered that, despite the registration mentioning that the car had more than 190 thousand km on the clock, the odometer showed only 140 thousand km.
It was at this moment that Isaac realized that the salesperson had changed the odometer to reduce the number of kilometers driven that were being displayed on the dashboard. According to Isaac, the report Carfax It still showed that the vehicle had a rebuild/salvage title.
When asking the seller about the title, he replied that he “didn’t know”. Even if the vehicle appears to be in good condition, buying a salvage car is always a risk, mainly because there is no way of knowing whether the previous owner saved money on replacing parts or whether the repair work was really well done.
In the end, Isaac’s video appears as a great warning for drivers interested in buying used cars. Doing a good inspection and pulling the vehicle registration is always the best thing to do to avoid falling for scams.
