    Using Automotive Escrow Accounts

    Buying expensive items online can be risky. While a vast majority of transactions work out just fine, unfortunately, sometimes they don’t. The first, and scariest, reason is that some sellers and buyers are simply operating fraudulently. There never was the possibility of a legitimate transaction because one of the parties isn’t operating in good faith. They are trying to make money by scamming other people.

    Second, and this is far more common, the buyer receives the item purchased and feel it was misrepresented. For example, Mr. Ed of Phoenix, AZ, suggests that what one person thinks a “rust free vehicle” is, is almost certainly going to be perceived differently by another person. (After all, what is “rust?” Is it that brown oxidation on bare metal or is it actual rotted holes in thin sheet metal. Both extremes are called “rust.”)

    How to protect yourself

    A good way to ensure that you aren’t a victim of an online scam is to protect yourself from the start by using an escrow account. An escrow account is a bank account overseen by a responsible, neutral third-party: an “escrow service.” Arranging for an escrow service can maintain accountability between two parties in any high-value transaction, including buying/selling cars and trucks.

    Escrow- Benefits to Buyers

    As a buyer, one of the biggest risks you run into is misrepresentation. For example, you think you’ve found the classic car of your dreams and after the vehicle arrives, you find out that the vehicle’s condition is much worse than you thought. In this case, you may be eligible to return the vehicle and receive a 100% refund.

    Here’s how it works: as a buyer, all of your purchase funds are held with a neutral escrow service and are only released to the seller when you give the go-ahead. So, if the seller’s vehicle arrives and it doesn’t meet your expectations, you have the opportunity to return the vehicle to the seller.

    Escrow- Benefits to Sellers

    From the seller’s perspective, the greatest risk is that the buyer doesn’t pay the purchase price (or any money at all.) Escrow services remove that issue from the transaction by verifying the funds up-front. You won’t have to worry about cashier’s checks being fraudulent or getting a notice of insufficient funds days after the vehicle has left your driveway.

    Additional benefits of using an escrow service

    Most online escrow services also include a process workflow that allows for a linear transaction. This may include things like receiving and filling out Bills of Sale, Bills of lading, Photos of the vehicle, Etc.

    In summary

    The best part about using an escrow service for your vehicle purchase is having all of the previously mentioned services done by the one company. Escrow platforms typically allow for documentation, transportation arrangements, and purchase funds to be held securely in one easy-to-access location with a full communication history available to either party at any time.

    When dealing with a buyer or seller unknown to you, using an escrow service may give you the best protection.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
