I found a VW diesel on the internet , its in an other state , I am wanting to make sure of ownership before sending a down payment ?
I checked all the so called free vin checks , all are bogus adds , claiming to be free , then redirecting to pay for links .

 

Careful, there are a lot of scams aout there. Believe it or not, some people aren't honest...
Carfax will give you a history but I don't think they give you owners any longer. I'd get a fax of a driver's license and of the title and insurance card and I'd want it within 15 minutes of my asking for it. Less time for them to them be made up. I've bought quite a few vehicles out of state via internet, ebay, autotrader etc but try to either purchase from a verifiable dealer or go get the vehicle myself.
good luck!

 

Me too , they are asking to use a 3rd party for money , Pivotal Payments , one look at a Google search , found that , looks OK so far , just one of those sounds too good to be true .
But thats how I got my Airstream trailer .

 

As a devil's advocate, not everyone has a fax machine thats within 15 minutes of them. I know I don't, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. If they are that dishonest to have a made up drivers license, they probably already have one made.
