Guides and checklists

Use practical checklists before buying, selling, renting or choosing a service.

Make a safer decision

Verify the offer, calculate the true cost and prepare questions before contacting the seller.

Verify the listing, seller and collection terms before transferring money.

Use clear terms, safe communication and documented collection.

Learn the common fraud patterns based on urgency, fake payments and credential theft.

A clear title, complete parameters and concrete description improve trust and relevant enquiries.

Clear photos reduce questions, show condition and improve credibility.

Price should reflect condition, included items, demand and comparable active listings.

Compare the total cost of credit, leasing and insurance before signing an agreement or paying a deposit.

Plan the inspection and test drive so you can calmly verify the car, documents and seller behaviour.

Before buying, verify documents, history, technical condition and the real ownership cost.

Agree on location, time, inspection and payment without pressure.

A final five-minute check can prevent an expensive mistake.
