Buying Tips.

Negotiate Smartly

Use any findings during inspection to negotiate a fair price. Be willing to walk away if the deal doesn’t meet your expectations.

Test Drive the Vehicle

Always take the car for a test drive to identify any potential issues with brakes, steering, or suspension.

Inspect for Rust and Body Condition

Check for rust and damage on the body and frame. Rust can be expensive to repair, and misaligned panels may indicate accidents.

Mechanical Condition

Ensure the engine and transmission are in good working order. Look for fluid leaks, as they can indicate deeper mechanical problems.
