Buying a used car on line

The guy will eventually get what is coming to him from someone who isn't as dignified as you! Beautiful car by the way!

I bought a 66 Corvette about a year ago from an out-of-state private party. I flew to the sellers location, made the transaction at his bank and had it notarized on site, then made arrangements to have it transported. If you don't want to make a trip to look at the car in person, there are escrow companies that specialize in this type of transaction. They aren't cheap, but cheaper than paying for a car that you never get. By the way, this was the second flight I took to look at a car. The first one didn't work out. Anyway, just my two cents.

Thanks for your reply. Your'e two cents would, and could have saved me from a lot of my self inflicted problem. Live and learn. Thanks

Good morning and thanks for your'e reply. From what Im hearing this is been going on for some time. I am a strong believer in what goes around comes around. I just wanted to give others a heads up. Thanks again.

Could have been worse. How is the car? Do you like it? I always wanted a Corvette
Do beautiful women throw themselves under the tires? I mean at your feet?

Hi, It's been really nice to on the highways but a little stiff for the streets here. But overall I enjoy it. In answer to your question about women throwing themselves under the tires, Their only under my tires because I never saw them when they were in the crosswalk and hit them. Thanks. Charlie.

I totally get the struggle of purchasing a car out-of-state. It's not always feasible to make a trip in person to check it out, but it's definitely important to take precautions to avoid getting scammed. I agree that using an escrow company can be a good option. I actually bought a car from out-of-state last year and used a transport company to get it delivered.
