More on Pre-Purchase Inspections
We understand the need to be fiscally wise in today’s economy. The
best solution for your budget is often buying a used vehicle. One of the
downsides to buying a used car, however, is not knowing its history in
detail. Many dealerships provide services like Carfax and other used-vehicle
reports to inform you. Pre-purchase reports like these are helpful, as
they list the service history of the vehicle and can tell you whether
proper preventative maintenance has been taken.
But the information those reports omit is also important. A report cannot
always tell you if the car is safe to drive now. Are all the parts and
critical driving systems in good condition? How much life is left on the
belts, hoses, engine mounts, and other key engine parts?
