Your Safety is at Risk When You Privately Sell Your Used Car

Keep yourself safe: sell your used car to Big Bucks Auto

Big Bucks Auto heard startling and disturbing news recently about a man who tried to privately sell his used car, and ended up almost selling his life.

Why you shouldn’t sell your used car to just anyone.

In late January, 2011, a man tried to sell his used car, a BMW, without using an auto appraisal or car buying service like Big Bucks Auto. After the “buyer” of the BMW signed a fake name on the bill of sale, he forcefully captured the seller, brutalized him, tied up his hands and feet and threw him into the trunk. With the seller unconscious in the trunk of his own BMW, the buyer started driving away from Manhattan toward an unknown destination, but likely what would have been the final resting place of his captive.

Don’t crash your car or else you’ll have to sell your car! Winter is officially here and that means bad road conditions are here as well! Now that the New Year has rung in and the holidays are nearly behind us, I figured we do a little refresher course on our winter driving. In my previous post we went over how to avoid holiday traffic in New York, now were going to go over how to avoid accidents in winter. It’s amazing to see people in the North-East area becoming seemingly unaware of the winter road conditions.  In the month of December there were 860 motor vehicle accidents that proved to be fatal according to the Road Traffic Management Corporation. As the winter season kicks into full swing you will see this number increase. Of course if you take the proper precautions and tips, you can help decrease this number.

Toyota Vehicle Recalls: What Happened?

Posted on December 1, 2010 by admin

How would you feel about a car that accelerates on its own? I’m not talking about an autonomous vehicle such as the one I wrote about in my last article The Google Car: The Autonomous Car of The Future. I’m talking about a Toyota that without warning accelerates randomly without you even having to press on the gas pedal. That doesn’t sound too fun now does it? It wasn’t fun for many people.  It was only natural to expect these Toyota models recalled.  Shortly after the recalls, allegations began to surface claiming the defect caused death or injury. As expected, the lawsuits weren’t too far behind.
