LOOK CLOSELY

Ask to see the title before completing the transaction:

1 Note the date; be leery if it is too recent, hinting that the seller hasn't had the car long.

2 Pay special attention to the typed mileage, which is the last documented odometer reading.

3 The hand-written mileage must be higher than the typed mileage. The written mileage is documented by the person registering the vehicle.

4 If box No.2 is checked on the title, which means the reported mileage is not accurate, ask why the odometer reading is not accurate.
