Here are some quick things you can do to make sure the car is still sound – even after a mechanic’s inspection. Something could have gone wrong between the time you looked at it first and your final decision.
- Give the dipstick another twirl and see if the fuel levels have dropped. They shouldn’t have under normal wear and tear.
- Check the tires to make sure they haven’t been switched.
- See if all repairs and replacements you requested (such as a flat spare tire) have been made.
- Look for any fresh dents since your first inspection. After all, others have probably driven the car since you have.
- Double check the interior for any stains or rips not present the first time.
Happy Hunting!
