Should I trust to escrow.com for purchasing the vehicle
7 Answers
I would say no. without knowing the specifics of what deal you are trying to do, this sounds like a scam. It's a popular scam nowadays, car is in storage, seller in military, send money to ebay or escrow and will then ship to you...
Check out their reputation online. I personally would never pay for a car and then wait for it to show up in my driveway. Santa is more reliable.

Hi GuruDFW19, Escrow.com has been in business since 1999 and is a leader in online escrow services, headquartered in California and licensed throughout the United States. What Charlie said is absolutely correct, there are scams out there that pretend to be legitimate escrow companies so it is important to check that the URL of the site that you are going to matches what you expect it to be (Escrow.com's is easy) and that the service is backed by a recommendation from someone you trust (CarGurus recommends Escrow.com here: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/articles/how_to_sell_your_car_online ). I hope this helps, Jackson Elsegood General Manager, Escrow.com
Just got the same Panamera 2011 deal. Refused. It is scam.
Most of the answers here seem completely unhelpful and should be rebutted. cargurus partners with escrow.com to provide Escrow services. Why is that a scam? As a seller I would rather deal with an escrow service than take a "bank draft" from someone I don't know.
