2022 Model 3 Tesla scam discovery saves Wollongong buyer from $45,000 fraud through pre-purchase inspection.
Wollongong buyer, Jeff Zarif, was saved from a $45,000 Tesla scam by a pre-purchase car inspection. Zarif had negotiated the price of a 2022 Model 3 Tesla down from $56,000 and was planning to pick it up when he sent the VIN to car inspector Mitchell Pedavoli. Pedavoli discovered the vehicle had crashed in South Australia, been repaired in Queensland, and exploited a loophole to be registered in NSW, saving Zarif from a costly purchase.
