Always Get a Lemon Check

Buying a used car can be a great way to save money, but it can also cost you a lot more if you end up buying a lemon. Having vehicle inspections prior to purchasing a used car is one of the most important things you can do, and too many people skip this step. Having the car inspected by a professional is one of the primary ways you can find out if something is wrong with the car. Believing whatever the seller tells you about the car is not enough; no matter how sincere or honest the person appears to be. After all, their motivation is to sell the car.



The best place to have a lemon check performed is through a professional inspector. It's worth spending the money to have the car inspected. If any repairs are needed, you can price the repairs and determine your best option, such as negotiating for a lower price or walking away.



Having a used car inspected prior to purchase is probably the most important step in the process. Here are three good reasons why you should get a lemon check.



1. You'll learn more about the Car While a seller may be honest; it's possible that he or she is unaware of problems with the vehicle. Alternatively, it could be that the seller knows that repairs are needed and wants to sell the car rather than pay for repairs. Unfortunately, not everyone is honest, and the only way you can determine the true state of a car is to have it thoroughly inspected. A vehicle that looks great from the outside may have serious problems inside. A skilled, independent mechanic can give you an honest opinion about the state of the car.



A lemon check can also alert you to other problems such as mileage fraud or other hidden problems with the car. If you run across any suspicious activity, such as adjusting mileage or other problems, you can walk away from the sale. If you skip having the lemon check, you will never know about these issues prior to purchasing the vehicle.



2. You'll save money having vehicle inspections done on a potential purchase will only save you money in the long run. The check will determine whether you should invest in the vehicle to begin with, and will give you an idea of potential repairs and the estimated cost. Simply avoiding a lemon can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars, from the initial cost of the vehicle (that you won't be able to resell) to any repairs.
