Long story short, I found myself at the lowest of the low end used car dealers the other day. I'm talking cars with prices in the neighborhood of $1200 that aren't even worth that. Thankfully my days of driving that kind of stuff are over.
From my observations, not that it's a shock, sketchy stuff happens there. Car parts littered everywhere, mechanic wearing an ankle monitor, ashtrays in the sales office like its 1992, customers talking down prices pretty substantially with little resistance, you get the idea.
One thing I saw was a ton of DEF containers strewn about with nary a diesel vehicle in sight, even an empty in the bed of a gas pickup. They actually are an inspection station and somehow each car they sell gets a legit sticker, if not a legit inspection. Is there anything that DEF does to make cars pass emissions or something? I can't find anything on Google.
