Know Your Ride: How to Protect Yourself When Buying A Used Vehicle Privately
Publisher's Description
The safety provided by the Motor Vehicle Dealer Compensation Fund applies only to transactions involving registered dealers. Buying a car privately puts consumers at risk of falling victim to "curbsiders," imposters who pose as private individuals, but are actually in the business of selling vehicles that may be stolen, damaged, rebuilt, odometer-tampered, or have liens against them. First-time car buyers are the primary targets of curbsiders, which means that teens and young adults are particularly at risk. OMVIC has created Know Your Ride, a curbsider awareness video and teacher resource package, to help youth understand what's involved in making a wise purchase. Curriculum Links: The lesson plans and extensions provided for the Know Your Ride video contain links to the grade 10 Civics expectations, as outlined in The Ontario Curriculum Grades 9 & 10 Canadian and World Studies (Revised).
