Seller gave me an auction sheet — can it be fake, and how do I verify it?
A dealer in Lahore showed me a clean auction sheet for a 2018 Vezel, grade 4.5. It looks legit but I have heard sheets are sometimes forged or swapped from another car. How can I confirm it is genuine before paying the token?
Should I buy?Asking PKR 5,200,000

- 6✓ AcceptedYes — fake and "borrowed" sheets (a clean sheet from a different chassis) are common. To verify: (1) match the chassis number on the sheet to the chassis number physically on the car; (2) re-decode the sheet against the original auction house record, not just the printout; (3) cross-check the mileage and grade against the car's actual condition — repainted panels or fresh welding on a "grade 4.5 original" car is a red flag. You can run a free auction-sheet decode through CarOK to confirm grade/mileage/damage codes, and a physical inspection catches any mismatch between the sheet and the metal.
