Inspect That Used Car Before Buying

No piece of car buying advice is more often ignored than this: Have a mechanic inspect a used car before you buy it. Why do buyers plunk down thousands of dollars on a car with little more than an around-the-block test-drive and a glance under the hood? Three reasons deter car buyers from taking this vital step:

ADVERTISEMENT

• Most consumers don't know that good used car inspections are readily available.
• Many car buyers don't want to pay the extra money for an inspection.
• Some people anticipate a hassle prying the car away from a dealer or private party.

With a little planning, the inspection process can be as fast (and as revealing) as a hidden-camera exposé. If the inspection report is clean, you can buy with confidence. If it unearths ugly problems, you can back away or negotiate a lower price in line with the cost of repairs.

Most sellers will let you take the car for an inspection or agree to have a mobile inspection performed at their home. If the seller hesitates, you might want to consider the words of BuffaloScoop.com's automotive editor and former America's Car Show host Tom Torbjornsen: "You have to wonder what they're hiding."

The Vital Pre-Purchase Inspection

Experts agree that used cars must be inspected before the final negotiation for purchase. The ordinary car buyer, even if mechanically savvy, really can't do it justice. "A stem-to-stern inspection, if it's been done right, can tell you if you're about to buy a great used car or step into a nasty set of problems," Torbjornsen said.

Torbjornsen recommended having the inspection performed by a mechanic with whom you've built a relationship. The car should also have a test-drive over a predetermined route that includes hills, bumps and potholes to pick up suspension problems and reveal engine performance issues.

Using a third-party inspector builds the "trust factor," said Jim Yates, president and CEO of Alliance Inspection Management (AiM), which bills itself as the premier new and pre-owned vehicle inspection partnership in North America.

"There is so much information on the Web about every type of car," Yates said. "But what about that specific [Chevrolet] Malibu. Someone has to verify not just what's wrong with the car, but also what's right with it." He added that a seller can also proactively have a car inspected and volunteer to provide the results of a condition report. "If you are the seller, does it enhance the sale to attach a condition report?" he asked. "I think it does."

What It Costs, What It Covers

Nearly all auto service facilities, from chain repair stores to dealerships to independent garages, offer some type of pre-purchase inspection. We found that the going price is about $100, roughly the cost of an hour's labor for a mechanic. Most repair facilities will give a quick description of the number of points in the inspection and how it is conducted. In most cases, however, the findings of inspections are not guaranteed.

"One of the biggest problems in private-party transactions is setting expectations," Yates said. "With a good inspection, you know what you are getting." Automotive experts agree that a good inspection serves several functions:

• Verifies the equipment, or options, on the car.
• Confirms the condition level of the car.
• Reveals hidden problems with the body, frame or engine.
• Finds engine codes that can reveal engine problems.
• Builds confidence in the value of the vehicle.

Many major problems that can be spotted by a good inspector include:

Frame damage. If the frame shows damage, it indicates the car has been in a serious accident. Unless it has been repaired correctly, the car's wheels might not track properly, causing the vehicle to pull to one side and eventually leading to tire damage.

Poor previous repair work: This could range from sloppy bodywork to improper installation of modifications.

Smoker's car. If a car is being purchased remotely, via eBay for example, the seller could disguise the fact that someone has smoked in the car. Smoke gets into the vehicle's headliner and upholstery, and it is impossible to remove the smell.

Flood-damaged car: A vehicle history report can red-flag a flood-damaged car unless its title has been falsified. If that's the case, then it's important for an inspector to check for signs of water damage.

Mobile or Garage Inspection?

Many people will be faced with the choice of having a mobile inspector look at a car or taking the vehicle to a local mechanic. While it's most important to get a qualified inspection, each method offers its advantages and disadvantages.

A mobile inspection is fast and convenient. The inspector comes to your home or office and performs the inspection on-site. The inspector prints out a report on the spot and gives it to the buyer or seller. Inspectors also photograph any damage and take shots of the vehicle from different angles.

Inspections done by your local mechanic, or the service department of a dealership specializing in that brand of car, are performed with more specialized equipment. Primarily, the inspector can put the car up on a lift and examine the underside of the car for fluid leaks.

Test-Driving the Inspection Process

We thought it would be interesting to get an inspection for an Edmunds.com test car, a 2005 Volkswagen Jetta GLS TDI. to see what was uncovered. We took the car to Long Beach Autohaus and paid $108 for an inspection that lasted about an hour and a half. We watched as the mechanic, Mac, combed over the car and explained the points he was checking.

Mac's inspection found a minor oil leak but he chased it to its origin and determined it was not severe. He also said our car needed tires and a brake fluid flush and would soon be due for an expensive timing belt change. "It's a good, clean used car," Mac told us at the conclusion of the report. "But the price seems a little high given that you will need work on it soon."

Alliance Inspection Management (AiM) inspector Andy Gutierrez inspected our Jetta in a parking structure. Although he didn't have a lift, he conducted a six-point frame inspection to make sure the car hadn't been in a serious accident. His report included detailed photos of various scrapes and scratches, which would be very useful if we were buying the car remotely. Additionally, he pointed out areas in the right rear-quarter panel that had been repaired by a paintless dent remover.

Final Thoughts

While no inspection is guaranteed to find every flaw in a used car, a trained eye can help you avoid serious problems. Given the fact that thousands of dollars are at stake, an hour of your time and a hundred dollars is good insurance against the unknown.

How to Become a Car Inspector

Locate insurance offices in your area. You can find insurance offices in the telephone book, through online directories or by visiting insurance company websites.

Compile a professional resume detailing your experience in the automotive industry. Emphasize any experience that involved performing maintenance or repairs on vehicles. Also, include any formal education and certifications pertaining to the inspection, maintenance or repair of vehicles.

Call or visit the insurance offices in your area to inquire about potential openings for car inspectors. Offer to forward a copy of your resume so that hiring staff can review your experience and qualifications. Also, ask for an interview with the hiring manager.

Compile a list of questions you want to ask at the interview. Asking questions shows the hiring manager that you are serious about your career choice, and that you want to become a valuable asset to the company. Ask the hiring manager what kinds of vehicles the company accepts, what types and extent of damage are permissible and what types of damage render a vehicle unacceptable for coverage.

Elaborate on your automotive experience in your interview. Tell the hiring manager what kinds of vehicles you have worked on, and what types of safety and condition issues you have identified in vehicles you have serviced. Also, elaborate on any relevant certification or training programs you have completed.

Send the hiring manager a short thank you letter after the interview. In the letter, briefly recap your qualifications and experience in the automotive industry.

Obtain business cards, fliers and brochures for your business. Your fliers or brochures should list the types of inspections you perform, and should contain a summary of your experience, training and certifications. You can also boost the value of your fliers and brochures as sales tools by including an explanation of why a car inspection is necessary before a new car purchase, and why you are the right person to perform inspections for clients.

Visit used car dealerships in your area. Ask the dealership manager if she will refer customers to you when they want an inspection before making a vehicle purchase. A dealership manager who sells high-quality inventory will happily provide referrals -- it shows potential customers that the dealership is confident in the condition and quality of its vehicles.

Negotiate rates with dealership managers; a dealership that plans on sending you consistent business will likely want to negotiate lower rates for its customers. Provide a statement of the agreed-upon rates in writing, and keep a copy for your records.

Leave fliers, brochures and business cards with the dealership manager. He can provide these materials to prospective customers to generate interest in your services.

Place ads in area newspapers that specialize in connecting automobile buyers and sellers. This is an effective way to target the people who need your services. People who plan to buy a vehicle from an independent seller can benefit from having the car inspected before purchase, and independent sellers can expedite the sale of a vehicle and command higher selling prices by offering to pay for a vehicle inspection.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Advantages of a Classic Car Guy Inspection:

A pre-purchase inspection doesn't cost you money, it saves you money! Our detailed 10-12 page reports can uncover all types of hidden problems before they become your problems.

Our reports are the most detailed in the business. Each component of the automobile is graded on a 1-5 scale (like OCPG) and comments are given. We look for rust issues by running a magnet over rocker panels, wheel well openings, and by inspecting the floor pans and trunk bottoms for integrity. Each body panel is graded separately for paint, body and fit assuring that inspectors take the time to look at everything. We will address most anything that you have a concern about.

• You don't have to get on an airplane and pay for meals and a hotel. We have good coverage of the USA and Canada. Chances are good that we have a qualified local inspector in the neighborhood who can test drive and inspect the car of your interest.
• You will have an objective, professional third party opinion. Often, a buyer will trust the seller's description of the car. For one reason or another, a seller may not quite represent the car accurately. Unfortunately, this takes place with great frequency. For your own piece of mind, we suggest that you get an inspection before you buy, even if it isn't from us. Otherwise, your investment could easily become a liability.
• You will get ALL the information accurately. Our detailed 12 page reports, can uncover all types of hidden problems before they become your problems. Each of our reports includes photos and a test drive. You will have the information you need to make an informed decision on a purchase. If questions remain you can always speak with the inspector about the report.
• You get the advantage of hiring an expert. Our inspectors are pre-qualified for each specific job. For-instance, we will not ask a Mercedes expert to inspect a Mustang or vice versa. Our inspectors are licensed appraisers, automobile restorers, judges of automobiles in car shows, body shop owners, expert certified mechanics, museum curators, etc.
• You get photographs with every report. Often the pictures you get from a seller show only the good spots. Our inspectors are good at documenting all of the trouble areas. Pictures can usually be emailed to you.
• You get a Test Drive. Our inspectors will test drive each car themselves or sit with the owner and take notes. You will receive information that describes the performance of the automobile with each CCG report.

Our Pre-Purchase Inspection/Appraisal Process:

1) You may place an order for a pre-purchase inspection or appraisal with us by using the methods described above. Try our toll-free telephone number at 1-888-206-0039 24 hrs a day 7 days a week, or fax us the necessary info at 925-396-6040.

2) One of our inspectors, nearest to the car of interest, will be given the assignment. The inspector will immediately contact the owner of the automobile by telephone so that an appointment can be made.

3) At the convenience of the seller, the inspector travels to the owner's car, or they meet at an alternate location. The inspector will use our Field Checklist, which is 12 pages in length, when inspecting the automobile. He will spend at least one hour (often closer to two) grading each component of the automobile on a 1 to 5 scale. Comments are given where needed on the checklist. Automobiles are inspected for paint quality, rust (floor pans, trunk bottom, rocker panels, etc), chrome quality, body/frame damage and repair, etc. See the list below of typical items inspected. Our inspectors are instructed to place magnets on body panels and rust-prone or suspect areas. The interiors, trunks, engine compartments of every automobile are also inspected. (Any specific areas that you have concerns about can most likely be addressed). The car will be test driven if at all possible. Comments are made on the checklist regarding the test drive. Many photographs are taken.

4) Often within the same day, the inspector faxes the report to our office where it is reviewed. We send the 12 page inspection report to you (by email ordinarily) within 12-24 hours of the time of inspection. If it is a written appraisal, turn-around time is about 5 days.

About Car Inspections

Owning a car comes with a lot of responsibility. You have to do a lot to keep the car maintained and often to meet the standards of the state you live in. For example, it is legally required in many states for your car to pass inspection. Few people know very much about what a car inspection actually is, though.

The inspection of an automobile is intended to ensure that vehicles are safe for use. This means checking the vehicle out to find out that important features are functioning properly. Often lights, containers holding vehicle liquids, emissions, brakes, and other important features are inspected. Other elements of the inspection include checking to see that aspects of the vehicle are properly maintained, like having enough oil. A professional inspector completes the inspection for you.

Whether or not you have to get your car inspected depends on where you live. The federal government requires that cities, which do not meet clean air standards, require cars to be inspected. That way cities are likely to have their auto emissions lowered. Some states have clean enough air that they do not have to force inspections and therefore do not at all. It is wise for people to get their vehicles inspected periodically regardless of the law to ensure their safety anyway, though.

States that do require that automobiles be inspected have different standards for inspection. Some only check emissions and related features. Others are very thorough, checking every light and possible leak and more. In some states, inspection is only required when a new vehicle is purchased. Certain states require periodic inspections, every year or two years. When you move to a new state or buy a new car, you will have to register it legally. Find out about inspection policies then.

Depending on where you live, there are different penalties for not passing inspection. In some states, you simply do not pass. You have to keep bringing your car to be inspected until it passes. This can mean paying for minor or even major repairs. If a police officer pulls you over or otherwise catches you driving an un-inspected vehicle or automobile that has not passed inspection recently enough, you will likely get huge fines or into other legal trouble. Further, if you drive a vehicle that cannot pass inspection (depending on what is wrong) you may be operating a vehicle that is dangerous.
