There is a fairly significant scam market for buying used vehicles in the USA with counterfeit checks. The vehicles get shipped overseas where they locals aren’t so particular about having a valid title history.
Normally they do this with higher-end collector cars, but I guess they can buy a beater truck too.
Smaller dealers, usually tiny lots, buy up old, rundown vehicles bigger dealers can’t sell to their clientele. If the dealer is an immigrant, they send them overseas to sell. These old cars sell well over there.
