General Comments:
Be sure to buy this vehicle from a licensed dealer.
A person selling multiple cars a year must be licensed as
a car dealer in most States. A curbstoner purchases
vehicles at auction without a license and poses as a
private seller to sell these vehicles to unsuspecting
buyers for a large profit. Curbstoning is illegal in most States.

Curbstoning - Tips To Protect You From Curbstoning
Curbstoners use classified ads or put the vehicles in highly trafficked
areas with "for sale" signs to attract unsuspecting buyers. If you are
meeting the seller in a parking lot, be wary. They usually will not meet
you at their homes.
Look at the seller's license and the car's title. If the names on the
two documents don't match, don't buy the car. Selling it for a friend
or family member should send up red flags.
Check the phone number. If the same phone number appears in multiple
classified advertisements, the seller is probably curbstoning.
Check the CARFAX Vehicle History Report for problem titles, odometer
rollbacks, accidents and other automotive events.
Take the car to a trusted mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection.
Protect yourself from curbstoning by using CARFAX Find a Car or
working with CARFAX Certified Dealers.
Lease - Vehicle registered but not owned by the driver.
