    Also, be very alert to automobiles that were salvaged in mississippi, during the flood waters of hurricane katrina. numerous vehicles, from this area, are being sold very cheap because of the remaining bacteria. of course be suspicious of stolen automobiles. if you have a specific vehicle you are interested in, contact your local police and let them check the vehicle identification number for stolen. there is also a website, this will cost you, where you can check the v.i.n. for past damages and auto accidents its been involved in. also, ask the auto dealer for the registration of the vehicle that interests you. if he hesitates in producing said registration, or none at all, then definitely call the police. you don't get something for nothing.

    A car which is selling for considerably below book value, or considerably below other similar cars in the area, is a may have some hidden problem. You might consider one if you have engaged some expert, disinterested opinions. Ask the seller a lot of questions, including "Why are you selling this car so cheap?" Check out the serial number on Carfax.com. Take it to a reputable mechanic and get it looked over thoroughly.

    You could be looking at a car which has been totalled and repaired on a salvage title--even remainders of two wrecked cars which have been welded together; a car which has deployed airbags which were not replaced; a car which has been in a flood; who knows?

    If you can get satisfactory, verifiable, answers to your questions, and can be assured that the car is in reasonable mechanical condition for its age and mileage, then perhaps it will be a good risk. Proceed carefully. It will be difficult to save enough money up front to cover serious headaches a little later.
