Pre-Purchase Inspection — 5 reasons to inspect before you buy in San Marino

If any of these apply, book an inspection before you commit — most take under 60 minutes on site.

  • Buying from a private seller

    No dealership backing means no recourse if something's wrong.

  • High-mileage or older vehicle

    More wear-related risk on suspension, engine and transmission.

  • Vehicle from out of state

    Harder to check accident or flood history in person.

  • Seller is rushing the sale

    Pressure to skip due diligence is a red flag worth checking.

  • You're not mechanically confident

    A second, trained opinion catches what a test drive won't.
