Right Hand Drive Cars

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

That and a carfax or other service to pick up accident history should help a long way in letting the buyer beware.

In Texas, totaled cars get a salvage title. Just means unsafe to drive in Texas. Perfectly safe for Cambodia.
Which takes us back to the dilemma of vehicles being sold as salvage but rebuilt and sold in Cambodia. Jurisdictions are only able to make and enforce laws within their own borders. What is statutory rape in Texas is a common practice in Pakistan. Using a VIN number from a car there are many internet search applications that will sell you the car's history, especially cars that have been registered in advanced western countries such as the USA. Caveat Emptor, used car salesman have a bad reputation worldwide and for a reason.
