Hi, I am translating a text about actions and illegal selling and the following phrase appears:
Consumers who buy from curbstoners may find themselves with unsafe, cobbled-together vehicles that can’t be registered or insured like normal vehicles.
Can you help me find a suitable Spanish term for cobbled-together vehicles?
thanks!!!
