When to Get a Pre-Purchase Inspection

Investing in a pre-purchase inspection is always a wise choice when buying a used vehicle. Here are some scenarios where it’s especially important:

• Private Sales: If you’re buying from a private seller, a pre-purchase inspection can provide peace of mind about the vehicle’s condition.
• Older Models: Older vehicles may have hidden issues that a thorough inspection can uncover.
• High Mileage: Cars with high mileage may have wear and tear that needs to be assessed before purchase.
• Luxury or Performance Vehicles: High-end cars often come with higher repair costs; knowing their condition is crucial.
• Unfamiliar Brands: If you’re considering a brand or model you’re not familiar with, a professional inspection can help you understand any potential issues.
