Get A Vehicle Inspection Before You Buy a Car

If the dealer does the repairs, you may wish to get another vehicle inspection after he or she is done. So in your deal with a dealer, or while talking to a private seller, make sure it is known and written down that the deal is dependent upon a vehicle inspection.

Have a clause added to the deal “this deal is contingent upon an inspection by mechanic Bob and my accepting of that vehicle inspection”. If the dealer will not accept this clause, simply do not sign the deal until the vehicle inspection has been done.

If the dealer or seller refuses a vehicle inspection by an independent mechanic, walk away. Better yet, run away. Also be willing to walk away from the car if the results of the vehicle inspection are not good. You do not want to spend the next few years with a car that breaks down on the way to work.
