I just got back from looking at the Kijiji car that had a ridiculous price but had some serious red flags to the owners story. Gut feeling is telling me to walk away but i wanted to ask the community of the types of scams out there these days.
Here's my scenario: 2014 accord w/ 16k KM for $20K. Owner of the car tells me he just bought the car two days ago (Oct. 22nd per bill of sale) with a sale price of $24K, he tells me however he paid only $19K for the car because for tax reasons. i verified the bill of sale VIN matches the car and the address matches that of the driver license but the address i'm at to view to car isn't even close to where the sale was done. i took down the bill of sale and phoned the "previous owner" and he tells me the car was purchased by him first hand and sold to his friend at a discount price. when i do a VIN search i find the car was sold out of an Red Deer dealership just earlier this month as a used car so it's impossible for him to have bought it new. Long story short, no stories add up.
what i'm curious about is whether people can get away with selling stolen cars? is that even possible? Hoping someone can shed some light into this.
Many thanks in advance.
