As many of you know from our recent post, we've always prided ourselves at Luigi Motors on sourcing vehicles through our trusted network—reputable suppliers who perform thorough pre-sale checks to ensure every car we bring to you is safe, reliable, and exactly as represented. That's exactly how this stunning Kia EV6 GT came into our showroom: vetted by pros we rely on, with a clean bill of health that let us pass it along with full confidence.
But last night, our world turned upside down in a way I wouldn't wish on anyone. A hidden history that no one saw coming. The standard HPI check we ran first thing last night, came back with a colour change our heart sunk but not written off!. It was only when we dug deeper with additional specialized car data services that the shocking truth emerged. This vehicle, which we were excited to offer to someone special, carried a shadow from its past that could have slipped through unnoticed. The betrayal of that oversight hit like a train—the stress, the disbelief, the sheer horror of realizing how close this came to affecting one of you. Sleepless nights don't even begin to cover it; it's a gut-wrenching reminder of how vulnerable we all are in this industry, no matter how careful we try to be.
As soon as the full picture crystallized—literally within hours of the discovery—we pulled the car from sale immediately. It's off the market, and we're committed to handling this with full transparency and integrity. We'll keep you updated every step of the way on the resolution process, including any refunds, rectifications, or next actions, because you deserve nothing less.
This isn't just our story—it's a stark warning to everyone, whether you're a first-time buyer, a savvy dealer, or somewhere in between. One check isn't enough. HPI is gold-standard, but it's not infallible. Layer on multiple car data checks from diverse, trusted sources to peel back those layers of risk. Don't let "good enough" become your regret. We're sharing this raw moment not to dwell in the pain, but to protect you from it.
If you've got questions, concerns, or even your own close-call tales, drop them below—we're in this together. Thank you for your support; it means the world as we navigate this bump.
