He has agreed to meet at an auto body shop of my choice tomorrow to have it inspected...Should I feel safe buying it if the inspection checks out ? What else should I do ? How do I really know if it's not an salvage title? I don't trust him... Thanks...Any tips ?
Also he wants cash only...This is scary to me...I could get robbed...How should we go about this...Should I have him sign the title over to me first then take him into the bank with me and do the transaction to be safer? How should I go about this...His english is not that good and yeah...
Also I will have to sell my current dodge charger SXT with 54,000 miles on it...I think its book price used is about 11,000... Is the demand high for chargers? How long do you expect it would take to sell my car in today's market? would it be brutal ?
Could I have some kind of a dealership sell it for me via commission ? Details please!
1.) get a carfax report/with that margin its most likely a salvage
2.) even if the carfax checks out, you should buy a digital paint guage to use on each panel of the car to determine if there has been paintwork (basically its a little needle that detects the paint level in MM, to see if the panels differ from original factory paint
3.) Chargers are a dime a dozen, youll be hard pressed to sell it privately or get $ on a trade in
4.) if he wants cash, get a cashier's check, have him call the bank to verify validity of said check
sounds like a bad deal, im a carfax ceritifed dealer, if you get the vin ill run it for you bc i have unlimited and im bored on friday night
