AutoTrader Inspection

On-site used-car inspection services are a convenient, relatively inexpensive way to verify a car’s condition before purchase. Buying a used car is a roll of the dice, but with an on-site inspection service you can easily and inexpensively improve your odds against making the wrong choice, and gain some peace of mind in the process.

You’ve done your research, found the used car of your dreams and negotiated a price. Now what? At this point, you should have obtained a vehicle history report from an online service such as CARFAX.com or AutoCheck.com. Such reports provide history on owners, odometer readings, reported accidents and so forth.

As comprehensive as they are, however, such reports can’t evaluate a vehicle’s current condition. For this, AutoTrader recommends having the car inspected by a qualified mechanic.
