How many times have you been ripped of in a car or parts deal???

I posted this story a while back, but I'll put it out there again. A good friend of mine who was a tech inspector at a race track bought a 70 Challenger 440 automatic car from another site. He went to pick the car up & there was a 69 Roadrunner 4 speed car there. He made a deal & bought both cars, he went back to get the RR & finally got them home. Fast forward about a year, he gets a knock on his door early one morning & there are two auto theft detectives there. They asked to look at the Challenger & Road Runner. The VIN plates were BOGUS & where the VIN numbers were stamped had been cut out. They seized the two cars but luckily he didn't go to jail. The investigation turned up that the address where he picked the cars up was a vacant house & the names on the receipts were bogus also. My friend is out to the tune of 6 figures plus, with nothing to show for it. As I stated in an earlier post "Buyer Beware" & do your homework on anything you buy if you don't know the seller.
