At this time, you will hand the seller the money in whatever form as been agreed upon. Depending upon your state (and/or the parties' inclinations), one or both of you may want to execute a bill of sale. As for price, KBB and the like are just guides (and not usually good ones) - see the Real World Trade-in Value topic. It's your responsiblity to do your homework ahead of time to have a clear idea of current market conditions. |

Replying to: tidester (Jan 25, 2008 10:59 pm) My son received a reply on facebook offering to pay more than the asking price and send a tow truck and cash for the jeep. Is this legal? Scam?

Replying to: middleageguy (Jan 27, 2008 6:53 am) Think about it... why would someone offer more than asking price? Are there no Jeep Wrangler's in this person's area? As far as I know, it's not a rare vehicle. Would a reasonable person likely buy a vehicle sight unseen? What would probably happen is that he would send you more than the amount and his "client" or "friend" would come & take your car away. Days later, your bank would tell you the check was a fake. So now you're out the money and the car is long gone. If someone will not show up in person to look at and pay for the vehicle, there's a good chance it's a scam. Maybe not, but it's probably not worth taking the chance when you can likely unload the vehicle locally using safer, traditional payment arrangements. Check out places like Craigslist for their warnings on the many variations of this scam.
