Pre-Purchase Inspections – Don’t get stuck with a lemon.
Pre-owned cars can be a great value, especially the high-line imports such as BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and other European makes. These cars have twice the life of an ordinary car and remain safe, durable and stylish for years. The thousands you save on depreciation, insurance and interest can be spent on other things important to you.
The big fear is what if it needs expensive work?
We can help save you that trouble with a pre-purchase inspection. An expert technician, specialized in your make of car, will provide a comprehensive 50 point written report of any car you are considering. The cost of this inspection is typically $150.
We’ll do a thorough road test of engine, transmission and handling performance. We’ll inspect and report on all critical systems including:
- Tires
- Brakes
- Steering
- Suspension
- Underhood
- Battery and starting/charging system
- Accessories
- Body and glass
- Maintenance needs
You will have the information you need to confidently make an offer for the car, ask for a price adjustment or simply walk away. We will also share our experience on the durability, repair frequency and notable quirks for the European models we service.
Don’t get unwelcome news the day after you buy a car. Call us for a pre-purchase inspection that can save you disappointment and thousands in repair costs.
In order to devote adequate time to the inspection please call 515-243-8185 for an appointment and allow at least two hours for the work.
