Curbstoning - Tips To Protect You From Curbstoning
Curbstoners use classified ads or put the vehicles in highly trafficked areas with "for sale" signs to attract unsuspecting buyers. If you are meeting the seller in a parking lot, be wary. They usually will not meet you at their homes.
Look at the seller's license and the car's title. If the names on the two documents don't match, don't buy the car. Selling it for a friend or family member should send up red flags.
Check the phone number. If the same phone number appears in multiple classified advertisements, the seller is probably curbstoning.
Check the CARFAX Vehicle History Report for problem titles, odometer rollbacks, accidents and other automotive events.
Take the car to a trusted mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection.
Protect yourself from curbstoning by using CARFAX Find a Car or working with CARFAX Certified Dealers.
First Owner - A state issues a title to provide a vehicle owner with proof of ownership. When a title is issued to the first owner of a new vehicle, CARFAX labels the title record with "First Owner".
Personal Use - Vehicle was registered by the owner for private or personal use.
