Learn How A Pre-Purchase Inspection Can Help With Buying A Used Car


by Michael Cabunoc


When buying a pre-owned car, it is sometimes hard to know what kind of shape it is in. It may look good but unless there is some kind of proof of proper care, you could be getting a vehicle with many problems. Bring the car to your Lincoln Park auto repair shop for a pre-purchase inspection and you will receive many benefits.

Some used cars may not require an inspection. For example, if you find a quality used car with a great warranty, you can depend on its reliability. Look for cars that are "certified" as this means they have been completely inspected and repaired properly. Yet, many people cannot afford certified used vehicles.

When buying "as is" used vehicles, an inspection is one of the best ways to protect yourself. Your local garage has all the latest equipment to test the major components of the vehicle. They can determine how well it is running and if there are major problems that lie just beneath the surface.

A good pre-purchase inspection includes the frame and body. Your technician looks for things like body putty and other repairs designed to cover up accident damage. The car's interior will be checked out to see if there is damage from flooding. When cars are under the water, problems may not manifest for some time.

When a vehicle is completely inspected, it will be checked for repairs or modifications meant to defraud the consumer. For example, some vehicles have odometers with far fewer miles than actual. These things can be spotted with a detailed inspection.

If you are thinking about buying a car with no warranty, talk to your Lincoln Park auto repair company about an inspection. These inspections are detailed and come with an itemized list of problems. This data is useful for getting a better deal or for eliminating a car from consideration.
