The Used Car Evaluation Helps You Avoid Buying A Lemon

COVID-19 may have changed the Back-To-School scene but there are still teenagers and college students who are getting to the point where they need their own vehicle. For that reason August is one of the most common months to buy a vehicle (along with December which combines Christmas with end-of-year sales). The most economic way to buy a vehicle is to buy used from the owner. If you go to a dealership they will often overload the services done to the vehicle which increases the bottom line, and the minute you drive the vehicle off the lot it depreciates in value substantially. You can get a vehicle in the same or even better shape, and get a better deal when you buy from the owner.

In reply to this advice you might say “yeah, but if I buy from the owner I don’t really know the condition of the vehicle under the hood.” That is exactly why we provide the Used Car Evaluation. We will do a test drive and inspect the vehicle thoroughly for you with the eyes of experts and help reveal anything that might be going on with the vehicle. You can use whatever information we gather to decide whether or not to buy the vehicle, negotiate a lower selling price or at the very least verify that the asking price is fair. The service essentially helps you avoid buying a lemon.

There is a fee involved with the used car evaluation, which is minimal for the peace of mind you’ll get in addition to the amount of expense you can avoid by not buying a lemon. If you end up buying the vehicle and it needs repairs, we will credit the amount of the used car evaluation towards the first repair (not including standard maintenance services).

By asking the seller to meet at our shop, you also get the benefit of meeting in a public place, and there is a title place across the parking lot which makes conveying ownership of the vehicle super easy if you decide to buy.
