The title, “1 Million Used Cars Are Hiding A Terrible Secret,” may catch quite a few people’s eyes who are in the market of purchasing a car-whom will also receive a warning. After a car is an accident it is branded as “damaged goods” to inform future owners or buyers, however many find ways to get rid of the so-called brand. According to CarFax, 800 000 cars have been washed away of these brands (“title-washing”), including 500 taxis.
There are used car dealerships and also individual sellers who if they are aware of the car’s damaged history, have the social responsibility of notifying the buyers. “Business” as a whole does not necessarily have this ethic and social responsibility, but the individuals who sell these cars or run the companies do. These individuals place the consumers in great danger, and not only the consumer himself but the others that they are sharing the road with. One buyer found that places in the engine were held together with plastic zip ties, finding the truth about their car when obtaining the vehicle history report.
With this in mind, be wary of used car’s history since not all sellers quite have the social responsibility of informing buyer’s of car’s “hidden secrets.”
