Jaguars are popular and in high demand in today’s market. There is a high probability you will be able to find your favorite model, year and level. Yet, you need to be careful in answering any ads for a used Jaguar in Philadelphia. The potential for separating you from your money is high.
Avoiding Scammers
If you want to avoid being scammed, there are several steps you can undertake.
- Ads: Read the ad carefully. If the deal sounds “too good to be true,” it probably is. Always know the Blue Book value of the used Jaguar you are considering.
- Communication: If the seller will only get in touch with you by email, reconsider. If the approach is too pushy or aggressive, rethink the deal.
- Seller: Is it an authorized Jaguar dealership or a curbsider, curber or curbstoner? The latter two are interested solely in making a profit and often adopt unscrupulous tactics to achieve this.
- Documentation: Always make sure you receive valid documentation. This includes all the paperwork necessary to register the vehicle and the vehicle history report. This latter can help you determine whether the paperwork supplied by the seller and the report are for the same vehicle.
Buying Used
If you decide to purchase a used Jaguar, always consider the source. The popularity of a vehicle increases the potential for a scammer to take your money. One way to avoid this is to carefully screen the sources. A better option is to only work with an authorized, local Jaguar dealership.
