There are a ton of Used Cars out there. Some good, some not so much, and some just plain unsafe. If you are looking to purchase a pre-owned vehicle, please, please, please, get it inspected by a reliable shop. It doesn’t matter who you are buying it from, get it checked out before any money exchanges hands. We had a young lady come into the shop today, with a vehicle that she had purchased over the weekend from a friend. She had only had it for a day, when the check engine light came on. She brought it in and we inspected the whole vehicle. It was a mess, mold inside the car, under the seats to start with. Check engine light ended up being a cooling system issue involving the thermostat. On this particular car, it was a big job. The had flipped the tire around so that the bare, cord showing edges were on the inside. The rear brakes were totally shot. After putting the estimates together, the repair bill was more than she paid for the car. Hopefully she will be able to get somewhere with the lot that sold her the car. It was heartbreaking watching her realize what had happened…Don’t let this happen to you!!
