Looking at a used car in Mosul? Before you hand over the money, check what the VIN says. Cars sold in Iraq are routinely bought damaged at US and Canadian auctions, shipped over and repaired — and the auction photos show the state that car was really in, whatever the seller in Mosul is telling you.
