How
to Buy a Used Car and
Not Get Taken
What
Do You Do with the Mechanic's Report?
The information that you get from the report should help you
in ay. one of four ways:
-
It can confirm that you've got your hands on a good car
and a good buy.
-
It can make you aware that the car is unsafe, unfit, or
in need of expensive repairs and should be rejected from
your consideration.
-
The
information can help you in your negotiation. Depending
on what is found, you might be able to use this information
to help justify a lower price or, at the very least, to
get the owner to agree to make the repairs as a condition
of the sale.
4.
A
complete professional evaluation will almost certainly tell
you whether or not the car will pass state inspections. If
it won't, you can reasonably require the seller to make the
necessary repairs to bring it up to inspection standards or,
at the very least, to adjust the asking price accordingly.
5.
In
any event, because experts have both the knowledge and equipment
to make effective evaluations, it's well worth your time and
money to enlist their services.
