Pre-Purchase Car Inspection

A pre-purchase car inspection helps you to determine any upcoming issues before you buy a new vehicle. The pre-purchase inspection includes inspection of the vehicle’s engine, cooling system, ignition system, transmission, suspension, steering, brakes, tyres, all of the lights and the electrical system. It will give you a better understanding of the car’s true mechanical condition, so that you’ll be aware of any pre-existing faults. This may put you in a better position to negotiate the price with the seller.
