There are a few things to take from this unfortunate event....
1. "Never" "advertise" "with" so "many" " " " "
2. Never trade a Cobra on a Vette
3. Beware of anyone from Joisey
Seriously - over here we can make a telephone call and based on the VIN number, we can be notified instantly of any encumberances. Theft, flood damage, previous write-off, etc. Doesn't CarFax offer the same service over there?
