Don't Let A
Curbstoner Take You For A Ride - Curbstoning is a form of fraud which
can involve either a commercial car seller posing as private
individuals and/or individuals who are selling multiple vehicles
without a license. Curbstoners are so named because they often park
vehicles along a curb or in high trafficked public viewing areas. Some
curbstoners advertise in classified ads while a growing number are
moving online where it’s easier to conceal their identity and
location.
Some individuals use curbstoning as a
way to circumvent state laws regarding the sale of cars. Licensed
dealers need to meet strict requirements to stay in business. Curbstoners do not. Curbstoners frequently market vehicles many
reputable dealers won’t touch because of hidden problems that can
affect the vehicles safety and resale value.
