The
Value of a Pre-Purchase Inspection
Ok,
you have researched and located the Mercedes-Benz that interests
you. It may be a "Pre-Owned," Certified Pre-Owned," "Pre-Loved,"
"New to You," the proverbial "Little old lady
car" or
any other label created to shed the negative connotation of a "used" vehicle.
If it is a local sale then you have followed the basic guidelines:
You have
seen the vehicle in natural sunlight (the most
revealing of all light)
You
have cold started the vehicle and road tested it to check
the acceleration, shifting, braking, and ride
quality
You have
remained as objective as possible (keeping your emotions
at bay)
You
have invested in a Carfax vehicle history report.
It is now time for a Pre-Purchase Inspection.
One only has to read the local headlines or listen to stories
of friends and family to hear a disappointing used vehicle
experience. Much like enlisting
the services of a home inspector for housing purchases, it is recommended
by many
automotive industry pundits to enlist the services of an automotive technician
familiar with the make and model, to assess the mechanical and safety condition
of the vehicle.
Although a Pre-Purchase Inspection can never be 100% accurate as there
will always be risks associated with a used vehicle purchase, a quality
Pre-Purchase
Inspection performed by an experienced automotive
technician can significantly hedge some of the risk for potential safety
and financial
issues for the purchaser.
