Still Searching For The One: Volvo XC V70
Getting even more frustrated with all of the conartists out there. Especially those on craiglist. Although craiglists is a great site you just have to be aware and not stupid of believing everything you read or are told.
COMMON SENSE:
– If the title is not in your name – you can’t sell it
– If you don’t have your car paid off – you can’t sell it
– If the car doesn’t start – you can’t drive it home
BE AWARE OF:
– If the seller says that he just got the car and is not sure of the problems
– If the seller does not want to let you take the are to an “independent” mechanic or will always meet you have hours when ALL auto service places are closed
– If there is smoke coming out of oil or of car anywhere, especially white smoke = ENGINE PROBLEM
– If the seller has the car running before you get there – NOTE: This is a big sign that the car has trouble starting
– If the seller needs a quick sale because of divorce, moving or military deployment
– If a parent is selling there car for their child. This is not always a problem but sometimes is a way for the parent to say they don’t know info about the car
– If engine lights are on
– FINALLY: IF THE PRICE IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE – WALK AWAY
