Compact Car: MINI Cooper
Premium Mid-size Car: Kia Amanti

Here are four tips to protect yourself against fraud:
- Be wary of a price that is too good to be true-it often is!
- You should be extremely cautious about sending money via wire transfer-particularly overseas. The safest method is to use cash and make the transaction in person or by credit card through a reliable escrow service, such as www.escrow.com
- A common online scam is a buyer offering to buy your vehicle on behalf of a "client" via cashiers check in excess of the selling price. This is a scam! Always give your bank 30 days to clear a cashier's check before "refunding" any money
- TraderOnline.com and Trader Publishing Company do not have any type of Payment Protection Program. We recommend using an escrow service like www.escrow.com.
