What to check when buying a used car
Checklist First
- Engine condition
- Transmission
- Brakes
- Suspension
- Tyres
- Interior wear
- Service history
- VIN match
- Next we move on to areas of the vehicle that is hidden from the general eye
- Finally we test drive the vehicle to check other issues
Each area is then broken down in to a large amount of subheading check although this makes Perth pre purchase inspections a very reliable inspection service because The Problem with Most used car buyers is the car sellers are tryiny to hide something and that is why the car is for sale
miss critical issues—furthermore especially mechanical ones and that is where we come in however you are the one that has to make the correct decision
