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.
