Advice on buying/inspecting a used car from a private owner?
Posted by saythankya@reddit | askcarguys | View on Reddit | 2 comments
I’m going to check out a car tomorrow but it’s my first time trying to buy from a private seller, could anyone give me some advice in terms of getting the car inspected? This person is 3 hours from me, should I try to find a mechanic nearby? What would be the typical protocol I guess? If I like the car should I ask them to take it to the mechanic or go myself? Appreciate any advice.

Schedule a pre-purchase inspection with a highly-rated mechanic near the seller.

Typically you want to call a shop ahead of time and schedule an appointment. Or find a mechanic willing to come to you/ the car. You might have to make a second trip
