There are a few practises to follow in order to avoid being deceived by a car dealer:
Always purchase from a reputable vendor. Examine the Google reviews.
Never put your trust in photos found on the internet. Visit the dealership and test drive the vehicle.
Don’t send money until you’ve met with the seller. This way, you can ensure that the transaction is legal and that the car exists in the mentioned condition.
Pay through secure channels to ensure that you have proof of payment and that your personal information is safe.
Have a mechanic inspect the vehicle.
Examine all paperwork, such as the history report and/or the car title, to learn about previous accidents, liens, repairs, and so on.
Prepare a list of questions to ask your dealer.
