I'm looking at a bunch of used cars (on dealer lots) and while they all have their "101 point inspection", I would prefer someone who's _not_ on the sales side to take a look at whatever I'm looking to buy.
Normally I get slightly used things that are still under factory warranty / CPO and don't worry about the inspection, but now I'm looking at older rigs that are going to be prone to issues.
So, is there such a thing as an actual mobile pre-purchase inspection (around RTP) that I could have come to the lot? Google seems to show some, but they seem vague as to what they do. Sounds like shine a flashlight around the engine and make sure the brakes work and run a carfax.
Anyone take a vehicle from a dealer lot to their own mechanic? Seems like a totally legit thing to do (to me anyway but I'm not a dealer).
Anyone use a mobile service? How did it turn out?
Anyone on the forum do this sort of service?
Bueller?
