Risks When Buying A Used Car Online

Buying a used car online or from another state is not impossible, but there are risks,
and specific steps you must take to protect yourself.

Risks
  • seller does not actually own the vehicle
  • seller wants to use a fraudulent escrow company
  • title could be altered, fraudulent or “washed”
  • seller may not disclose that there is a lien against the vehicle
  • condition of vehicle represented by seller may not be accurate
  • car history report looks OK, but the VIN of the vehicle may have been switched with another – car could be stolen or damaged beyond repair
  • the seller may not even have the title to the vehicle
