The term curbsider is well known to those in the automotive industry and government, but what does it mean to the consumer?
A curbsider is defined as one who is in the business of offering vehicles to the public for the primary purpose of making a profit, but behaves as if he or she is selling their own personal vehicle.
In the first place, a curbsider is an individual who routinely sells vehicles but is not registered under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. The curbsider usually offers the "family car" straight from their house or residence.
Secondly, a curbsider is defined as one who acts as if he or she is a private individual but is really registered under the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. Often these people have used false information to become registered and this allows them to purchase vehicles from other dealers or at auctions.

The public buys from curbsiders because it may seem like a deal they can't refuse. Curbsiders claim that they only want to get their money out of the vehicle. They tell the purchaser that they don't want to make any profit, but little does the purchaser know the complete opposite is true.
