Vehicle inspections before you buy
CarCheck arranges nationwide on-site vehicle inspections through our partner CARCHEX. An inspector checks the vehicle where it is, so you know about defects and conditions before you buy, and you get a detailed report.
The advantage
- Avoid buying troublesome or neglected vehicles altogether.
- Check what the seller has told you about the vehicle.
- Peace of mind in knowing the vehicle is everything you're paying for.
- Avoid surprise repair bills after purchase, when you may have no recourse.
The hard facts about used vehicles
- Some used vehicles are for sale because of chronic problems that couldn't be fixed or are too expensive to fix. Don't buy someone else's problems.
- Even honest sellers may not know about all the problems a vehicle has.
- Stated mileage is sometimes wrong. Parts of the inspection help detect mileage fraud or misrepresentation.
- Many vehicles have been in serious accidents and should not have been repaired, or were repaired incorrectly. Because of salvage titles and insurance rules, they often end up repaired and on used car lots.
