When buying a car privately you are at risk of falling victim to individuals who sell cars outside the law. If that's the case, you might find yourself with an unreliable and unsafe vehicle. The safety provided by the Motor Vehicle Dealers Compensation Fund applies only to transactions involving registered dealers, all of whom have contributed to this consumer protection program. You need to protect yourself! Follow these 5 easy tips to making the right deal.
1) Avoid curbsiders
If you are not buying from a registered dealer, make sure you don't become a curbsider's victim. Curbsiders are imposters who pose as private individuals, but are actually in the business of selling stolen, rebuilt or odometer-tampered vehicles. These fraud artists sell damaged or defective cars to unsuspecting consumers.
2) Check the car's history
Insist the private seller provide you with an official Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP), which tells you the history of the car's ownership. Don't sign the deal without it. If the seller refuses to provide it, walk away from the deal.
Another suggested way to check the history of a vehicle (prior to purchase) is to order a vehicle history report from CARFAX or CarProof.
3) Check the car's registration
Make sure the car you are buying is registered in the name of the seller. If it isn't, ask questions and find out why. Otherwise, you may be buying the vehicle from a curbsider.
4) Have your mechanic check the car
Before you agree to buy the car, get an unbiased opinion from a mechanic you trust.
5) Don't take any risks
Remember, if you buy from a curbsider you could be buying a vehicle that has been stolen or damaged and you have nowhere to turn if things go wrong. Don't take any risks.

Eli suksi vittuun.
Jobbaria harmittaa kun ihmiset ovat tietoisempia hämäräkuvioista?
Suomalaiset pikkuliikkeiden jobbarit eivät ole niin älykkäitä, että osaisivat tehdä kauppaa englannin kielellä.
Suomalais-jobbari on yleensä savosta. Osa on vaan muuttanut nimeänsä, jotta sulautuisivat valtaväestöön. Jotkin ottavat Ameriikkalaasen nime ja toiset Ruotsalaise..
Loput sitten päättyy muuttamaan nimeään ihan vaan peitelläkseen jälkiään aikaisemmilta vuosilta.
Toisaalta pikkuliikkeen jobbari ei viitsi vaivautua myymään Toyota Corollaa englannin kielellä, kun ovat kiireisiä palvelemaan Swahilin kieltä taitavia.
Pientä polemiikkia ovat aiheuttaneet nämä Afrikan Export-myynnit, sillä Afrikassa on monta eri kieltä. Tyhmä jobbari luuli, että kaikki Afrikkalaiset ovat Somaleja, vaikka näin asia ei todellakaan ole.
