If you had a used car to sell and the best lot in town had been shown to sell cars with rolled back mileage and/or altered CarFax reports resulting in bringing the most money. Would you consign your car there?

Likely that business would be out of business.

True at some point but it was a hypothetical.

similarly if you had a used car and the carfax which evaluated your used car was shown to be incapable of accurately evaluating your car...resulting in lots of disgruntled purchasers of these used cars...how long would carfax/PSA be in business?

But the facts show that this hobby is predicated on corrupt practices...and most don't care...so as many of you like to say...the beat will go on!

Most people would be lined up around the block to consign and buy from them. Then those in line would be calling the 3 people trying to tell them the place is dishonest names and making silly excuses for the dishonest dealer.

No, I would only consign it to a lot that used the term "Pre Owned"...sounds much nicer than "Used Car", and you get a little sticker saying as much

My ebay ID is used-cards. I guess I should have chosen "pre-ownedcards". All these years I must have been sending out the wrong impression about my condition challenged cardboard vehicles. What in the heck was I thinking 15 years ago?
