A Detailed Car Inspection Saves you from the Sour Taste of a Lemon
Car inspections are imperative when purchasing a new vehicle. A seller may just want to get the car off their hands or they may not know of lurking problems within the car before trying to sell it to you. Keep away from the hassle and stress of worrying that you are buying a lemon with a detailed car inspection report.
Inspection reports will not only be able to tell you if the car is overall junk, but will detail each problem, if any, found within the car.
A car inspection should go through every part of the vehicle to ensure there are no problems. A vehicle may look perfect on the outside, but have many problems lurking within.
A good inspection includes a report detailing all vehicle systems from the front bumper to the back bumper. Every system from the cooling and electrical systems to the underbody and steering systems should be thoroughly checked for problems.
An electrical check includes the air conditioner, lights, windows and gauges to see if there are any shortages that would ever cause a problem. The mechanical check should inspect for any leaks in the exhaust, water, oil or drive line.
The interior is also inspected for any problems. Seats, carpet, door trims, panels and mirrors are just a few of the items checked on the inside for issues.
A car history certificate as well as a PPSR report should be issued. A PPSR car history report shows if the car has ever been damaged in a flood, written off or reported stolen. It will also show if any money is owed on the car at that time.
Often this is offered for free. A VIN check, engine number check and detailed service history is a part of the ID and paperwork check.
A paint thickness test will be able to inform the owner of any chips in the paint or scratches.
Rust and erosion can also easily be tested in this process. A body damage assessment will also tell of any damages that were not reported by previous owners. Even the window glass should be tested for any damages.
A car inspection will also include a road test. Acceleration, engine performance and handling are all parts of this road test.
A written report of every detail tested should be given to the potential new owner. You can expect an estimate for repairs that will need to be done on the car.
An inspection is not fast because of the detail that goes into it. A comprehensive test should take about two to three hours. A mobile car inspection service will contact the seller to arrange a place to meet and inspect the vehicle. This report is ready immediately and will be explained to the potential buyer in depth.
