I will preface by stating that I have zero affiilation with this truck. I don't even know how many kilometers it has nor how much they are asking for it.
It is a nice looking Lariat crew cab with a 6.5' bed and 3.31 axles (open differential). What caught my eye was that this vehicle is now in Ukraine and may have originally had a Canadian non-repairable title. Obviously, given the Ukrainian registration and current situattion there, it caught my attention. The video makes me suspicious that the emissions has been deleted based on the apparent color of the tail pipe.
The photo that I can find of the car at a salvage lot indicates that the damage may have been relatively minor. I am not going to pay $9 for the full suite of crashed vehicles. Also, as much as I would like to help the Ukrainians, I have no intention of going to inspect the vehicle in person let alone execute a purchase.
This example does have me wondering if importation of a vehicle with a presumably clean title from Ukraine would translate to a clean title in North America (i.e. wash the title). Asking for a friend. I have recently seen a few vehicles pass through my local auto auctions (IAAI and Copart) with minimal damage that end up labeled with "junk" / "nonrepairable" titles. It frankly pains me to see, and makes me wonder if this particular truck ended up in this category. I know there are no longer states in the USA that allow non-repairable vehicles to be titled in other states, but I suspect no one has thought about the titles from.
