Manoj: All cars are shipped through sea. While much efforts are put in place to allow the vehicles reach their destinations in perfect condition, there are many factors over which one has little control, one of them being the condition of the sea and the second, handling at the ports. Usually, its the body and the paint that take the damage during shipments. I am almost sure the cars are insured at the time of shipment and damages could be claimed from the insurers which the companies must be doing. As such, there exists the possibilities of double benefits to the importers, one through claims on the damages from insurance companies; then repairing the vehicles and selling them off as brand new. The importers could have simply declared the cars that were damaged and repaired and offered them at a lower price to buyers. It would have kept them clean and such cars would sell off even faster than the others.
