Plan to buy a used car? Double check the VIN

admin — Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:18:58 +0000

There is this online scam for cars where the victims end up losing thousands of their hard-earned money because the scammers are masters and are hard to catch by the police. The modus operandi of the scammers is to sell a stolen car with a fake VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and the unsuspecting buyer would end up receiving a call from DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) and giving their recently bought used car as it will be confiscated.

If you won’t check the car’s VIN then you could be fooled off your hard earned cash so it’s best to do your homework before signing a deal or handing the seller your money. The VIN is found in different location on the car such as the dashboard and even on the titles and insurance policies. You have to double check the VIN to make sure of its validity to see if it’s a fake VIN or not. If it is fake then make sure to call the proper authorities and report the seller so he won’t rip other people off of their money.

Gumpert Apollo is probably the most expensive car to be for sale over at Craigslist. How much does it cost? It’s better to contact the seller straight from his Craigslist ad (http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/ctd/1062788477.html) but the price is definitely what you probably can’t afford unless of course you’re living in full luxury.

Gumpert Apollo

The car is orange and is very stylish. It can go from 0 to 60 in just 3 seconds! It’s the only one in the United States because Roland Gumpert, the maker of Gumpert Apollo imported it here all the way from Germany where he manufactures cars for his car company Gumpert Motors. The company is now working with the U.S. company so they could legalize the Apollo car in all the 50 states in the country.

So, if ever you’d see this car on the U.S. streets, you already know where the buyer bought it from. Nothing less than from Craigslist and take note, it’s the only one in the United States for now.
