Press Release Body = 20 November 2006, Hawthorn, Australia---

Private car sales have gotten popular nowadays thanks to the Internet. Now, car
buyers and sellers have realized they can do business between themselves just fine
without the help of a car dealer. This means money saved because there is no more
need for commissions that would have otherwise gone to the used car car dealer.

Thanks to online car classifieds too, used cars for sale are gaining the attention
and appreciation they deserve. Now, with sites like OzFreeOnline, people are
catching up on the benefits of buying used cars as opposed to buying new. After,
there are thousands of perfectly good Australian used cars for sale, and they're as
good as brand new, they retain more of their market value, and are the wisest
financial decision one can make.

Unfortunately, the price we pay for the Internet's convenience is the loss of
security. Precisely because transactions are done at the click of the mouse is why
people-both buyers and sellers-are more easily duped.

Here are OzFreeOnline\'s easy guide in getting the best deals in Australian used cars.


For those who sell used cars:
Don't just give the keys. Chances are the seller will want to take your used car
for a road test, and. of course, you're obliged to let him or her, in the interest
of good car sales. But don't just entrust the keys; accompany the buyer during the
road test so that no one just flees with your car without handing any cash.

For those who buy used cars:
Don't just trust any escrow company. An escrow company acts as a middleman, taking
your payment and handing it over to the seller once the car has been delivered to
your doorstep in perfect condition. The problem is, there's a lot of fake escrow
companies are out there willing to take your money sans the goods.

Don't just fall in love with any car. Have a trusted mechanic do a once-over on the
car, to make sure you're not buying a wrecked car or a lemon. Also, be sure to
check the odometer reading and see if it's not just "rolled back." Insist on seeing
the car maintenance and repair history to know just how well-taken care of the car
is. During the test drive, don't let the seller assuage you that that squeaky noise
or wiggle is "just normal". That's easy for the seller to say since he or she is
not the one doing the paying.

You can't be too safe nowadays. There's the good side in online private car sales.
And there's the downside too. You know what you got to do.
