What you really need to know
In the world of the used car market, every bit of information is helpful. Buying a used vehicle is a substantial investment. For most, the vehicle they choose will be with them for a long time. For others, it can become a nightmare trying to sell a vehicle they just bought. For this reason, you have already taken the first step to becoming a well educated, smart buyer, by choosing a pre-purchase vehicle inspection.
What you really need to know is whether or not it is a wise decision to buy a vehicle in question. That is what makes our pre-purchase vehicle inspections different. Our detailed and thorough inspections will also provide you with negotiating tips, what to have serviced, estimates on possible repair costs and an overall sense of the vehicle's state. All of this information comes together to provide you with one complete package. Your pre-purchase vehicle inspection should leave you with more answers than questions.
Negotiating Tips
Getting a sense of the vehicle's current state is one thing but how do I convert that into dollar signs? Our services are unique in a way that they keep you informed. Each of our inspections includes a detailed breakdown of each flaw in the vehicle. Viewing this actual report , you can see that the braking system needed attention on this Lexus. We had provided a detailed description of what the fault was, how the repair should be done and what it may cost. Our estimates can help you confidently negotiate the sale price down in your favor or have the repair work done at no charge. This is the reason why a pre-purchase vehicle inspection is so powerful.
Sense of State
Determining a vehicle's sense of state is also helpful in your final determination. We've all heard it before, "This vehicle appears to be well cared for." Gaining that sense is critical to making your next used vehicle experience a memorable one. No one wants to buy a vehicle that has the sense of being abused. That is why there is an attached stigma with buying an ex taxi or rental vehicle. A few real world examples of identifying a vehicle's current sense of state are: Is there touch up paint filling in all the tiny rock chips on the front of the hood? Does the carpet have coffee stains all over? Was the vehicle smoked in? What brand of battery was used to replace the original? Is the windshield cracked and is the owner's manual jammed packed with service receipts? The list can go on and on, but in the end we may recommend whether or not to buy the vehicle. Our recommendations are always backed up with solid reasoning.
