An inspection is one of the smartest investments you can make when buying a vehicle – ideally before signing the paperwork. Most reputable dealers or private sellers who are confident in their car will welcome a pre-purchase inspection.
- An inspection gives you:
- Confidence in the car you’re buying
- Leverage to negotiate repairs or a better price
- Protection from unexpected problems down the road
If you’ve already purchased, a post-purchase inspection can still uncover hidden issues early. Bottom line: take the time for an inspection – it’s money well spent.
