Pre-Purchase Inspections
If you're considering the purchase of a pre-owned Sprinter, a pre-purchase inspection is a wise decision. We can give you a clear understanding of the vehicle's overall condition and point out specific issues that will need to be addressed. The benefits for doing this are:
- We can protect you from purchasing a vehicle with hidden problems and requiring expensive repairs.
- We provide you with an estimate that will help you negotiate the price with the seller. We will perform a complete diagnostic scan, visually inspect the vehicle and road test.
Beyond the basic inspection described above, we can investigate specific items in greater detail if needed. Let's say, for example, you've found a car you like but the air conditioning doesn't work. The seller tells you, “it just needs a Freon refill.” Do you believe him? We can test the A/C system thoroughly and tell you what the problem really is.
