When you put an ad online and include photos of your car along with all of the information potential buyers would want to know, no doubt a lot of people will see it. You could also put the word out on social media and list your vehicle on several sites. The Internet makes it easier to get a huge amount of exposure, but who are those people who might view your ad – and can you trust them?

Sure it’s easy and convenient to use your smartphone, tablet, or other electronic devices to text or email interested prospects, but it can also be dangerous. Security and fraud are top concerns today as there are so many scammers out there. Sharing too much personal information electronically can also be risky. You never know who is behind those texts or emails, and you certainly don’t want them to know where you live or work. After all, they are total strangers!

Add to this the fact that meeting someone you have never seen before in your life in person can be a bit nerve-rattling, and it seems it would just be safer and simpler to work with a company you can trust.
