[QUOTE="Andy, post: 195029, member: 5096"] easy child looked for a vehicle on the internet this last Spring. We had a few weird situations. One was someone oversees who stated they were military and would pay the shipping to us. I never trust that - the expense of shipping is large - It would probably eat the cost of the car so something must be up there? I told husband there will be hidden charges that will be our responsibility. I would not trust anyone saying they were with the military - I really think there are frauds out there taking advantage of our patriotism. My husband always asked for the vehicle number (I believe VIN#). If they are not willing to give it - no deal for sure. If they do give it ALWAYS run it through a vehicle check - they are hoping that because they gave it that you will trust them - we found out one vehicle had a salvage title which was not disclosed to us. Never give your financial info until you are sure the sale is safe. My sister buys vehicles from internet, she said they only buy those they can see and try before the deal is done. She would be leary buying sight unseen [/QUOTE]
