I gathered some suggestions on what to be careful of, when buying car on line. I thought I’d share my notes with you.

–        Be careful of buyers out of state

–        Be careful where they put more money in PayPal and they ask to get part of it back.

–        Ask questions and get specifics can motivate people to run. They use Google phone numbers.

–        Anything that says like this you’ll get xx is usually a scam.

–        Put in add = no out of state sales.

–        The price of eBay doesn’t mean that’s what item is sold for.

–        Get a fax history on the car. I heard once that cars damaged in Hurricane Sandy were cleaned up and resold in other parts of the country. That may not be true, but having a fax history is valuable.

Please feel free to add on to the list in the comment section of the blog.
