Buying a Car from a "Curber"
Be on the Lookout!
Curbers may offer cars at discounted prices, but they often alter odometers, misrepresent a vehicle's history, or fail to disclose liens. If you decide to buy your car through a private seller, and you don't know the person, these are things that should arouse suspicion:
- The seller can only be contacted by cellular phone or pager.
- The seller can't produce the original "Vehicle Registration" form.
- The vehicle is not at the seller's residence; he or she always brings the car to you.
- The seller wants cash only.
- The seller has more than one car for sale.
Any of the above could indicate that you are dealing with a "curber."
