WHY YOU NEED A PPI...

If you have ever seen a vehicle you're interested in purchasing, you know it's very easy to get excited and buy it right away before someone else does (especially with the current pre-owned car climate).
​We know this sense of urgency is overwhelming, as no one likes that awful feeling of missing out on a car you had your eyes on, only to find out it has been sold.

However, acting hastily in purchasing a pre-owned vehicle (even just a couple years old and from a reputable seller) without the necessary due diligence can result in large financial headaches & unexpected mechanical issues... it is for these reasons you need a Pre-Purchase Inspection!

What is a PPI (Pre-Purchase Inspection)?
A PPI is a way to check the car is what it says it is on the ad by means of a comprehensive vehicle inspection completed in person and report provided to you.
The inspection covers all aspects of the vehicle inside and out to ensure you know everything that you need to know about the car, before you commit to buying. 

Is it worth spending $ on a PPI?
Absolutely! Even if you’re somewhat knowledgeable about cars, it can be difficult to really know what you’re getting without a professional Pre-Purchase Inspection.

Our advice to clients is to always invest in a PPI so that they can purchase the car of their dreams with confidence and not worry about spending more on vehicle repairs or being stuck with a lemon.
With a PPI, there is no more guesswork and uncertainty because everything is documented and provided for you in order to make a sound decision for your purchase.

The exercise is a very tiny percentage of the overall cost of the vehicle and the ROI is instant because you get:
​
1) Peace of mind with a full pass and the confidence to either proceed with the purchasing of your dream car.
OR
2) Peace of mind knowing you don't need to proceed with an offer on a car that requires extensive mechanical or body work and is not as described.
