Hire a mechanic to inspect a used car before you even consider handing over your money. He will check for problems and possibly even give the car a test drive. Make an appointment with your mechanic ahead of time so he can work it into his schedule. The whole process should take about an hour.
The service may cost $50 to $100, but any amount the mechanic charges is worth it. It could save you thousands of dollars if the car turns to be faulty. And if you hire a mechanic you work with frequently, he may even perform the service for free.
Some mechanics may go to the point of sale for the inspection, but most need you to bring the car to their garage. Take the car’s owner with you. He probably won’t want to let you disappear with his car for an hour while you have it checked.
If the seller refuses to let a mechanic look at the car, there’s probably something wrong with it. You’re better off moving on to the next option.
All the best,
Timben
