Need help on a truck purchase

Keys and signed title on the table before handing over money.

That’s after having the truck thoroughly checked out.

To me it sounds like a scam, not because of the price but “owner out of the country”.

 

What year and what kind of truck and trailer?

 

This is 100% a scam. Price is too cheap, the actual "owner" is out of the country, and op hasn't even seen the truck/trailer to verify its real.

 

A lawyer to get the charges drop.

 

This is the oldest scam out there lol

 

Listen, there's only one way that son, which he most certainly is not his son, can sell that truck legally without the father and that is only if he has legal power of attorney. And that is not something you just happen to have. Almost always power of attorney is because the other person has a medical condition that they cannot make their own decisions any longer.

No one, I repeat no one, can sign over a legal title of a vehicle to another person except for the actual owner of that vehicle.

Run for your life this is absolutely a scam.

 

Try asking for maintenance records, see what they say.

 

Scam. Tell them your going to come see it. They’ll probably quit responding. Also talk to them over the phone.

 

When they say it’s to good to be true.
