When selling a car used as a taxi, unscrupulous sellers change the VIN numbers in the ad to hide the real history of the car, and also try to convince the buyer that the taxi license for the car was issued only officially. This was told by the head of the expert center of autocriminologists Maxim Shelkov to socialbites.ca.
“For expensive cars operating at the Comfort Plus or Premium tariff, sellers tell the buyer that the car does not actually work in a taxi, but on the contrary, a lot of money was paid to get a license just to get one. Drive along a special lane,” Shelkov said.
According to him, paid vehicle history reports reflect the fact that a car has a taxi license, but an unscrupulous seller may display the VIN number of a similar car in the ad to hide the car’s true background. To avoid deception, you should compare the VIN in the ad with the VIN stamped on the body of the car being sold and stated in its documentation.
