Not sure it should have passed inspection with passive reflectors on the side.

I think it depends on how the car gets shipped. If it's in a container or a roll-on roll-off where the cars are inside the ship it shouldn't be affected?

I remember on some of the older BMWs, pre 90s, get a light coat of wax on the underside, the motor and the shock towers prior to being shipped out.
Maybe that buick was built domestically in china.... hence no shipping wax/ prep for boat ride.

I only remember the 3.2TL and early 2000’s Accord V6’s needed transmission rebuilds after a certain mileage.

The 10-speed has been better not as many reports as previous but earlier Pilot had issues.

There's very little fresh inventory and anything resembling a good deal is snapped up in minutes. It's a seller's market if you have a good product.
What you see sitting is sitting for a good reason.

Small example: https://www.autotrader.ca/a/mazda/mi...202N7&sprx=100
6 years ago (6!) I sold my 2008 Miata GT with ~24,000km for $20,500 and here is a nearly identical car selling for $19k list and it's not overpriced for the market.
My RDX sells for maybe a few grand less than what I paid for it 2.5 years ago.
