A citizen who was buying a vehicle with a friend in Sultangazi experienced the shock of his life during the inspection he went to due to suspicions. It was revealed in the examination that two different vehicles had been combined with professional workmanship. Mustafa Tosun, the President of the Sultangazi Car Dealers Site, warned, "It's impossible to understand from the outside, don't even trust your relatives."
A person who bought a car from a friend before Ramadan Bayram in Sultangazi, Istanbul, wanted to have it checked by an expert service after becoming suspicious of the vehicle he purchased. A detailed inspection revealed that the front part of the car had been cut and added from another vehicle of the same make and model.
"DON'T EVEN TRUST YOUR RELATIVES"
It was learned that the person selling the vehicle was also unaware of the situation, while the expert who inspected the vehicle, Enes Morkoç, warned, "It's impossible to understand from the outside, don't even trust your relatives."
"THE TRUTH CAME OUT WHEN WE LIFTED THE FLOOR COVERING"
Enes Morkoç, an expert serving in the Sultangazi Car Dealers Site, stated that the car was prepared with very professional workmanship, saying, "When the vehicle came to us, we first started with the bodywork and paint checks. We detected cutting and adding on the front two window pillars. Upon our suspicions, when we lifted the floor coverings of the vehicle, we saw that the car had been cut in half and combined with another vehicle."
"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND BY LOOKING FROM THE OUTSIDE"
Morkoç stated, "Especially before holidays, things get busy. Don't act based on trust in your spouse, friend, or relative. As seen in this vehicle, very professional workmanship has been done. It is absolutely impossible for an ordinary citizen to understand this by looking from the outside. No matter what, always have it checked by an expert."
"WE CAN DIRECTLY SEIZE SUCH VEHICLES"
Mustafa Tosun, the President of the Sultangazi Car Dealers Site, said, "We, as the automotive community, witnessed again the issue of a vehicle having a 'change' in the Sultangazi Car Dealers Site. It was determined that this vehicle had a 'change' while undergoing expert inspection. We encounter such situations. Especially before holidays, when such vehicle transactions occur between individuals, grievances can arise. However, a vehicle that has passed through the control of a tradesman does not easily cause grievances. Because as a result of that expert experience and the knowledge of the automotive professional, we can directly seize such vehicles. Our security also takes the necessary actions regarding this."
"THIS IS DONE IN AN ORGANIZED MANNER"
Tosun stated, "When this vehicle trade is done between individuals, it can be sold at the notary. In fact, it can also pass through some experts. They can sell it at the notary while trading among themselves and can also remove the vehicle's license plate. They may not be able to notice this. However, we witness cutting the front of another vehicle and mounting it to one vehicle or cutting it in the middle and mounting it to another vehicle, or even renting an international vehicle and mounting the information of a vehicle that had an accident in our country. This can only be known by those who understand this work. Such grievances occur from time to time and will continue to occur. Because those who do this are not just one or two people; it is done in an organized manner," he said.
"THE VEHICLE CARRIES LIVES"
Tosun emphasized, "When buyers purchase a vehicle, they must buy it from a reliable place. They need to have it inspected by a trustworthy expert. They should not rely on trust when buying such vehicles among relatives or friends. Because the vehicle carries lives. A vehicle is very important. We are now in a process where every household has vehicles and every individual has vehicles."
