Cyber-safe cars

Original Story from MySA.com

To protect against fraud, CARCHEX — a nationwide resource for vehicle inspections and extended auto warranties — recommends several ways that online buyers can protect themselves:

Order a vehicle history report from a company such as Carfax or AutoCheck. These reports include details such as title information, odometer readings, lien activity and flood and accident history.

Perform a pre-purchase vehicle inspection. For a fee, CARCHEX will send a certified mechanic to cars in all 50 states to perform a 155-point inspection.

Protect your car with an extended service agreement. CARCHEX offers buyers options ranging from 90-day warranties to coverage for five years or 100,000 miles.
