* Or you can do your own inspection . I mean how hard is it to :
Check the tires for abnormal wear - worn ad one side/center only/edges .
Cupping .
Look under the car for obvious oil/fluid leaks . They leave a mess or a
clean area .
Look under the hood for obvious leaks/problems . A bundle of wired that
looks melted ...
Look the interior over . A car with 20,000 miles is NOT going to have
the brake pedal rubber worn smooth .

* If a cursory exam makes you question , then call your mechanic .
Since I'm my own mechanic , I do a much more in depth examination . I've
never bought a lemon , though I have gotten a couple I should have
passed on . Ever priced lug nuts/bolts for a Peugeot ? Be sittin' down .


Easy for you. Do you think a bookkeeper or kindergarten teacher knows
how to check how much is left on brake pads or if a weld on a replaced
fender was done sloppily?
Or even know that the fender WAS replaced???
