Court records allege ByrdDawg Motors sold cars to more than 30 people without providing titles. One man is stuck paying a $20,000 loan for a vehicle he doesn’t have.
WHAT IS THE LESSON IN ALL OF THIS?
Bottom line, check the title of the vehicle before you buy it, via the VIN number.
Check for recalls, accidents and flooding via the VIN number.
Have a reputable car mechanic check the car out mechanically, if it is not new.
Be sure to check and see if the mileage matches the wear on the engine, which a mechanic can check out easily for you, via a compression check.
