Car ownership can be complicated, especially when informal agreements like sambung bayar (loan transfers) come into play.
While these arrangements might seem convenient, they carry significant risks when trust is broken.
One such case recently went viral, illustrating how these deals can unravel in the most dramatic way.
A Shocking Scene of Vandalism
The story revolves around a green Honda City that became the centre of attention after a woman, driven by anger and betrayal, severely vandalised the vehicle.
Photos circulating online showed the car with all its windows shattered, side mirrors snapped off, and its cabin filled with broken glass.
But why did she do it? This brings us to the root of the controversy.
The Betrayal Behind the Damage
The woman’s actions stemmed from frustration after discovering she had been deceived by the car’s previous owner.
Despite diligently paying monthly instalments to the original owner, she later found out that the bank loan hadn’t been paid for eight months.
Feeling cheated and stuck with the financial burden, she took matters into her own hands in a way that left the car in ruins.
Her bold actions sparked heated discussions online, shedding light on the risks of such informal agreements.
However, the story didn’t end there.
The Car Finds New Life as an Auction Item
Adding an unexpected twist, the damaged Honda City has now been put up for auction.
Well-known real estate investor Ishaq Marazi shared details in a Facebook post, turning the viral incident into an opportunity for bargain hunters.
“The viral car. Cheaper than an RX-Z. Auction price RM2,000. A 2008 Honda City. Are you in or not?” he wrote, along with a screenshot of the listing.
The listing revealed that the car, labeled LOT 127, is a 2008 Honda City 1.5 VTEC with an automatic transmission, starting at just RM2,000—a price that’s raising eyebrows among auction enthusiasts.
