This results in: 1) Refurbished, aftermarket automobile repair parts resold by AutoZone, Advance Auto Parts, and Rock Auto of suspect year compatibility and road worthiness. 2) Failing MDOT safety protocols required for state inspection and VEIP compliance, out-of-state registrars can purchase vehicles in VA with GI-Bill accessibility or other states with industry related, company affiliations which are either unsafe or able to be resold in ancillary used car markets. The concerned two vehicles 2012 Chevy Malibu LT (title to myself) and 2015 Cadillac SRX (sold by Cadillac of Greenbelt MD, now Honda of Greenbelt MD and upselling of new Cadillac marketed to Cadillac registrant Janice Thom-Collins by Jim Coleman's of Silver Spring MD) The lack of oversight and reduced scrutiny of 3rd-party dealerships and resellers creates an environment profitable to price gouging, tempting to criminal misrepresentation of mechanic services, and increased concern to NTSHA purview: [XXX] [XXX] p2 cites a merger of USAA with Nevada Credit Union. A 2012 Suzuki Kizashi was sold as well as 2012 Chevy Malibu from a VA dealership with electrical fire hazards uncorrected.
