Here is the answer to one of the most common questions we receive at TrustDALE:
Warranties- to buy or not to buy?
Todays Lesson on how to be a Savvy Consumer!
Today's Seven Simple Steps to Becoming a Savvy Consumer explained in the case of the on-line car purchase.
Fast (Don't agree to purchase something under undo pressure)
Funds (Don't believe in a payment or return that's too good to be true)
Found (Don't do business with someone who you later discover can't be found)
Define your deal by exploring the Product, collecting Offers to arrive at a fair Price.
Ensure your negotiation is ethical, your contract is equitable, and you have an Effective guarantee in the event something goes wrong
Authenticate your deal through References, Reviews and Reports
Legitimize your deal by check if the entity has a business license, a professional license (if required by the state), has Liability insurance, background checks and background declines employees, and has a clean Lawsuit history.
Tanqunika erred in the area of Fast and Funds and Found.
Fast - Do they want your money NOW? This should have been a red flag for Tanqunika because they wanted the entire purchase price in advance before ever showing her the actual the vehicle.
Funds - Is the amount of investment far smaller than the promised pay-off? That's a formula for too good to be true! Tanqunika's purchase price of the vehicle was far below the actual value. Put on the brakes and assess the situation before committing to a purchase or signing a contract when something seems too good to be true.
Found-Tanqunika worked with a company that can't be physically found. In fact, the perpetrator Corena Stones has several warrants issued for her arrest and authorities have been unable to locate her.
We are glad we were able to help Tanqunika out and we are sure she will never make this same mistake again. Thank you to our partner Aamco for helping to make this consumer whole!
