A proper inspection protects your investment. Here's what to check before buying.

01 Body Work

Check for rust, dents, repainted panels, and alignment. Hire a professional for $100-150 inspection.

02 Engine Condition

Listen for unusual sounds, check oil color, and look for smoke. Engine should start instantly.

03 Transmission

Test all gears. Shifting should be smooth with no hesitation or noise.

04 Service History

Full service record shows how well the car was maintained. Missing records = red flag.

05 Accident History

Check with LTA for accident records. Cars with major accidents lose significant value.
