I live in GA,Recently i been trying to buy a car, and i noticed that this car is way cheaper then any other car, and it had like 50,000 Miles on it!! it was for the price of a 150,000+ Miles car. the person who sells it tells me that the car runs good, and thru SquareTrade we do business, and if i dont like the car as described i can return it in 3 days, have any of yall heard about this website and this kind of deal and about SquareTrade. the perosn just told me he really needs the mone now because he went thru this surgery,and is trying to sell as fast as possible. Oh also he said the car hasnt been thru any severe weather. so im wondering.. and now hes selling the car from FL. he said he just been up in Illinois several times but kept the car in the garage. the car is a 2000 model

Anything is a possibility. I do suggest that you get a carfax on the car. But just so you know that carfax only shows you stuff that has been reported to the vin. I the car has been in a miner fender bender, the owner might not have taken it to a repair shop that will report on the vin. I live and sell cars in Illinois. It is quit possible that the person selling does not know the market. Good luck. Check kelly blue book value for the city he lives in in Illinois. That will tell you if our market swings lower then yours does.

Do a VIN check immediately. Some dealers in IL sell cars that have been totalled in wrecks without disclosing that info. If that checks out ok, the deal is probably legit. You need to test drive the car first, dont just buy after only seeing it online. It may have some mechanical issues that you will notice upon driving.

Always do a vin check on anycar before purchasing it.
second you need to pay for any 'non refundable' deposits by credit cards, so if it ends up being a scam you can do a charge back.
finally cars are definatly not cheaper here in Illinois, but you could have found a few deals.
