IIRC, he found some older sports car (I want to say Ferrari) for a song and ended up sending some money off. In the end he had no car and was out several thousand dollars. I don't even think the scammer owned the vehicle.

Private party is best way to pay less.

Yep, the seller makes more money and the buyer saves too.

But watch out for people trying to rip you off. My sister and BIL got so much

I prefer rebuilt title cars that have had rear collision damage. Cost about half

But go into it knowing if you ever sell, you'll find very few willing buyers.

This is true. It's why you can find a great car and also why it's more difficult
