5. Used Cars
Business Insider published an article about how more and more consumers are using the internet for buying cars. That, however, may not be the smartest decision.

-Never send money without meeting the seller first
-Don’t believe the picture you see
-Only use websites with secure transactions
-Use secure and traceable payments
-Don’t share your personal information
-Stay calm under pressure
-Buy local whenever possible
