What if I found the perfect used car interstate?
If you’re considering purchasing a used car and have found one located out of town, it may be tempting to book a flight to go see it in person. However, before you pay for any airfares, it’s crucial that you complete a pre-purchase inspection of the vehicle. This will help you identify any potential problems with the car before you commit to buying it, potentially saving you a lot of money and stress in the long run. So, before you book your flight, make sure to schedule a pre-purchase inspection with a trusted mechanic or inspection service. Only after you have the results of the inspection should you decide whether to move forward with the purchase or not.
