Curbstoning - A curbstoner is a person who purchases vehicles at volumes that require a dealer license and then poses as a private seller to sell to unsuspecting buyers for a large profit. Curbstoning is illegal in most States. CARFAX analyzes a vehicle's history for specific events to determine if a vehicle is potentially at risk for curbstoning. For instance, a vehicle that has been sold at auction but not issued a new title during a given period of time. Please read the CARFAX Curbstoning Tips for other ways to identify a potential curbstoner.

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.
