Ask before money moves

A serious seller should be able to explain ownership, documents, mileage, import status and whether inspection is possible.

Deposit red flags

Be careful when the seller pushes urgency, avoids questions, refuses inspection or cannot explain documents clearly.

Use the listing review step

If you are unsure, send the listing and your concern before arranging a deposit or viewing.
