Many older mercs, mostly C-Classes are ending in Trivandrum, being sold to unsuspected buyers. Past of these cars are mostly unknown, but with proper reregistration documents. My cousin works wih Merc dealer here and he says most are tampered and bashed cars, sold to current owners and they end up paying hefty sum for repairing it back to full glory, usually bills comes in 1.5+ L for repairing the damage, last one being 4L for a cheated lawyer. He was about to get a top-end Innova and he fell prey for a broker at dealer ship. He was sold a reregistered C-Class not even worth 8L for 17 whopping lakhs. The gang is run buy an old film actor and a minister's close relative. One of their dealer's in in close proximity of my place. I thought it was a luxury rent-a-car guy until I was told by cousin. There were lots of earlier Audi's, Merc's and Skodas. Most cars are from North.
