I am looking to buy a car. The owner says it has to go through Yahoo Finance. What is that, how does it work.?

I am skeptical of completing a transaction through yahoo finance without seeing the vehicle first. It seems kind of like an ebay transaction, sight unseen. How is this setup and how is the buyer protected?

nope buy locally only. This is most likely a scam.
Reply:Thomas is right. What recourse do you have if the car turns out to be a lemon? How do you know you'd get a free and clear title to the car? Then there are the logistics of getting the car from his place to yours--are you willing to pay airfare to get it? The so-called seller can post any picture on a website but that doesn't mean it's the car you're buying.





If you need a used car, check out the car rental places (like Enterprise)--reasonable, maintained, and low mileage. Also, check with your bank or credit union about repos.
