Well they shouldn't be falsifying the VIN.
But the USA laws seem unreasonably restrictive. Over here, a dealer can
import small quantities of used Skyline GT-Rs from Japan, where the vehicle
inspection regulatations make hanging on to old cars a big hassle.
On the other hand, these limited import rules also made it possible to
bring in Chinese copies of the London Taxi, which is a death-trap.

If they would give me a spanking brand new 2015 Ford van for free, they can crunch my old 1978 Dodge van all they want to. My Blue Heeler couch buddy Australian Cattle Dog said, ///If they had a feather up their arses we would both be happy WOO WOO WOOF!///

Got to love the US governments wisdom. Remember the cash for clunkers
program? if you traded a car in under it, the dealer was required to
pour gunk down the engine to destroy it. Made it harder to reclaim parts
off of the car before they were crushed

We used to have things called "economists", the definition of which was "figuring out how folks can live". If we still had them today they'd point out that a car is possibly the most fundamental tool for folks to get a job and stuff. I simply do not see any cars for poor folks any more. It's as if there was a plan to increase joblessness. In my elder brothers day, in my parents day, young folks messing with cars, keeping them on the road was considered a fine thing.
