Family Loses €17,000 on Fraudulent BMW with Missing Airbags in Alicante

Alicante, Spain – A recent case has brought to light the dangers of purchasing used vehicles without proper inspection, after a family in Alicante reportedly lost 17,000 euros on a fraudulent BMW. The vehicle, sold by a local car dealership, was discovered to be a total loss from the United States, poorly repaired in Poland, and then imported into Spain. According to a car inspection service, the BMW Series 3, a 2013 model, exhibited numerous critical defects. These included manipulated mileage, a misaligned dashboard, loose interior panels, and a significant structural impact that led to the deployment and subsequent removal of the curtain airbags, which were never replaced. Furthermore, the engine showed signs of severe oil leaks. "This car was a total loss from the US, poorly repaired in Poland, and then sold here as if nothing happened," stated a representative from the inspection service. "No one warned the clients, and they didn't get it inspected. Now it's too late." The inspection service emphasized that such practices not only lead to substantial financial losses but also put the lives of drivers and passengers at severe risk due to compromised safety features. The clients, who are foreign nationals and reportedly did not fully understand the Spanish sales contract, now face a complex legal battle to resolve the situation. This incident serves as a stark warning to potential used car buyers to always conduct thorough independent inspections before finalizing any purchase.
