I'm living in Tbilisi, Georgia. There are TONS of older foreign cars here with damage that would clearly fail an inspection in places like America.. Lots and lots of cars driving around with crumple zones that have been destroyed but the engine works fine. Apparently it's cheaper to import one of these than it is to buy a car here.
It's not just American and European cat's either. There are significant numbers of Japanese imports as well which have the steering wheel on the wrong side. Sometimes you'll get picked up in a taxi and the whole radio/infotainment screen is all Japanese.
