Caveat Emptor On Craigslist

Its not like he didn't do his due diligence on the purchase either.

 

How did he get a title when he bought it? Did anyone actually look at the VIN on the door panel and the dash to compare and verify?

 

i am surprised a new vehicle was even sold on Craig's list.

well, he got shafted, that'll teach him a lesson as to where to buy from.

Another question.
He bought the Bronco on Craigslist, then 3 weeks later he's trying to trade it in for a new pickup. I would think his trade in value would be a lot less than the $75,000 he paid for it?
Something about this story just doesn't smell right.

 

So don't these brand new vehicles have any sort of tracking? How the hell does a $100,000 truck get stolen from the factory? You'd think a place like that would be locked down tight.

 

You'd be surprised, many new vehicles are stolen from storage lots. Thousands of vehicles in a single lot, no way to effectively manage keys, so the keys are left in them.
