Pre-Purchase Inspection

Is the automobile you’re about to buy simply used…or abused???

There are a lot of used vehicles for sale, from both used and new car dealers as well as individuals, with hundreds of models and options to choose from. You’ve finally found just the one you’ve been looking for. But how do you know if it’s ever been involved in a collision? If it has, how do you know if its been repaired properly? Do you know what to look for?

Lemons and Cherries

Have you ever bought a used car or truck only to find out it is not what you expected? How many times have you ever heard a used car salesperson say a particular vehicle was a piece of junk and you shouldn’t even consider purchasing it? The fact is, nearly 75 percent of the used cars on the market have sustained some type of damage. Of course, to hear a salesperson tell it, they are all cherries. How can you tell the difference between a cherry and a lemon BEFORE you spend your hard earned money?

Unseen Trouble

At Collision Consulting we have seen the good, the bad and the ugly. We know the signs of poor repairs. While most repaired automobiles may look nice and shiny on the outside, it’s what’s beneath the outer beauty that can cause serious trouble down the road. Things like damaged suspension, (can cause premature tire wear and poor handling), improperly welded panels with gaps (can lead to water leaks and rust), poor or incomplete unibody/structural repairs (can lead to excessive damage in even the lightest of future accidents, and could impair safety), even poor quality refinish work (may not be a safety concern, but certainly could hurt your wallet when you sell it).
