Non licensed cars will be under the dealership's own insurance.. and since the car are likely to be unlicensed, any repair will not show up on ICBC records. so buyer beware. It would be nice to know which dealership or marque is involved. Quote:

what are the chances of wining such argument? | depends on the car i guess, but run of the mill cars would probably get declined. color matching is the whole point of blending panels adjacent to the damaged panel

I don't care how good a body shop is, I've never seen a repaint look as good as a QUALITY cars oem paint. Not saying it doesn't exist, but its like finding a unicorn.

^ I think it's all in relation to cost, as in i'd take a guess to say a $20,000 paint job would look as good, if not better than OEM.

True, but ICBC would write off my car (and many others) long before that happens.

Do they only show ICBC record?

No, the record services only list claims of registered cars.. car not registered while the damage / repair is done, nothing will show up. Quote:

That's pretty shady. So will the dealer still sell the cars as new or what.

Why? A lot of cars suffer damages during transit.. hence that's why those mobile touch up services are in existence. Most people don't ask anyways. It is shady only if they misrepresent themselves. Quote:

If most people knew what happened to there cars before they received them they would be appalled.
I have seen (in the years I have been in this business) cars that have had crushed fenders, flooded interiors, TONS of paint defect. Panel repaints on cars, dent pulling, respraying....and yes, they are able to still sell them as new vehicles.
It is up to the dealer to disclose things to the consumer if they wish to do so but I imagine most of them do not.

Yup in fact if you go to the docks at Annacis Island you will see countless cars which were damaged either in their yards, or during the shipping process.
The docks actually have their own body shop, and repair many vehicles without even the dealer knowing.
Cars go through so many different hands before they reach their first owner, there is almost zero accountability.
