Let the buyer beware

Think carfax is all you need when buying a used car?

If it sounds too good to be true it usually is.

Wow...scary.

I had a friend that was scammed when the person that bought his trailer used a bogus certified check. You can't trust anybody anymore. When we sold my hubby's Vette...we made the buyer meet us at the bank with the check to make sure it was good.

I give potential buyer's info to an FBI buddy who tells me lots of good (and unnecessary) info to know if I can trust the person.

Remind me to never buy anything from Poyz.

This is good advice right here. If someone hesitates when you request this, find another buyer.

Good post Telco.

I hate scambags. So frickin hard to work for the money I guess. Stealing is easier.

"But the dealers prevailed, winning exemption from oversight by the new agency, in part through the efforts of Senator Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas. Mr. Brownback said in a May statement on his Web site that “auto dealers are a part of Main Street, not Wall Street.” That makes sense as long as you ignore that Wall Street firms bundle into bonds many of the loans that dealers help originate and conveniently forget that lots of dealers are actually owned by publicly traded companies"

Just be careful whenever doing any financing thru a dealer
