What We Think
We are not sure about the specifics of this case. Hence, we would refrain from making any conclusive comments. The fact is that no one was present at the time of the accident. Therefore, one can’t say with absolute conviction what happened. The internet users were quick to point out that it is also possible that the owner would have sold the parts himself/herself instead of taking the SUV back for repair which would incur a lot of expenses. In any case, we can’t confirm or deny the claims of the vlogger.
