You all know me; I worry about things, especially at the last minute.
I think I have found my van. Mechanic approves it. He's not my mechanic, as I am not home, but he had good reviews on google. Low miles, good price, clean carfax.
I've always bought from private parties, but this is a lot more money than I have spent on a vehicle before. $6000.
I've been shy of dealers, though did not rule them out, because as a group they have such a bad rep. But at least there is SOME consumer protection I guess.
What do you all think?
I guess I am looking for reassurance, or suggested better methods. The seller won't take a cashier's check.
You can get a better deal going private party. I've bought vehicles that way, a pop up camper and also our fifth wheel. Just make sure you do your homework on whatever it is you're buying so you know what you're getting, and be sure the title is good and is signed over to you at the same time you pay.
