Not all stolen cars are wrecked or carted off to the section get parts. Thieves retain get going that for a dwarf dilemma, they can roll back the odometer and sell a stolen machine in the newspaper for a song. Whether you're the unfortunate buyer and the motorcar is eventually tracked down, very pathetic for you. Here's avoid buying a stolen vehicle.
Instructions
1. Ask yourself why this car is going for such a great price. Has it been wrecked or flood-damaged? Has someone tampered with the mileage? Is the car hot?
2. Check the seller's name and address against the information on the title and registration.
3.5. Make sure the VIN matches the number on the title.6. Be suspicious of a fresh paint job.
This is located on the driver's side dash close to the windshield, and can be viewed from outside. Scratches, dents or loose rivets indicate tampering. A magnifying glass may help.
Verify who financed the car and who insures it.4. Examine the vehicle identification number (VIN) plate.
While some legitimate sellers will have a car painted to spiff it up, that new paint may also be hiding mismatched parts or the original color of a reported stolen vehicle.
7. Take a copy of the title to the DMV and ask them to run a title history. (If an insurance company is listed as one of the owners, you don't want this car; it's likely been totaled.)
