Mechanics / Mech Engineering | | English term or phrase: a wreck of a replica car | HOLA
Quisiera que me ayuden a traducir esta oración. Es un texto que habla del fraude en el sector automotor.
Fraudulent practices identified include ‘twin schemes’ whereby a fraudster manipulates a wreck of a replica car, and sells the actual car on the black market
Tengo dudas con "a wreck of a replica car". No entiendo bien a qué hace referencia "wreck". ¿Sería el "destrozo" o los "restos destrozados"?
Agradeceré su ayuda. |

| | un accidente de un auto similar | Explanation:
El twin scheme se refiere a que se tienen dos automóviles iguales: original y réplica. Pero uno de esos está chocado o prácticamente destrozado (replica car), a la hora de cobrar el seguro se hace pasar la réplica por el original, por tanto se obtiene dinero del seguro y de la venta del original en el mercado negro.
Es decir, que la persona o personas manipulan documentos, eventos, etc para hacer parecer que el automóvil asegurado (original) sufrió un accidente y cobrar el dinero, y más tarde vender el original y obtener una doble ganancia deshaciéndose de la evidencia

...otra traducción, tomando en cuenta tus propuestas, podría ser "simula el destrozo de un automóvil..." |
