Good to know before you go see a car
Never pay a deposit to hold a car you have not seen. The most common used-car scam is a too-cheap price, a story about being away, and a request for a deposit or gift card. Our score sinks those listings and labels them.
Check the VIN. Ask the seller for the 17-character VIN and run it free on VinMojo. Every card here also shows the open safety recalls for that model from the US government (NHTSA).
Get it inspected. A pre-purchase inspection costs far less than a blown transmission. Meet in daylight, in a public place, and bring someone.
