With the current state of the second hand market absolutely crazy, we are seeing more and more people paying what used to be well over what the vehicles are worth. Unfortunately that’s just how it is now and the demand dictates the prices.
This however is a huge concern as we are getting customers having to pay more for cars that really ar not worth it, especially with people being aware of what’s going on and selling their cars for way above what the should be.
So in saying that here are our top 5 reasons to get a Pre Purchase Inspection done.
- Ensure you are buying a safe vehicle
- Great negotiating tool with the seller
- You can potentially save yourself thousands in repairs from buying a lemon
- Help you set a more accurate price during negotiations
- We can give you peace of mind and confidence moving forward on your purchase
So do yourself a favour and get your future purchase inspected. Roadworthy or not ( roadworthy is really just a basic safety inspection and really comes down to interpretation, so in saying that you could take a car to 5 inspection stations and you would get 5 different opinions ) go the extra mile and get a pre purchase inspection for your own peace of mind!
