Before you buy a used car
A private sale has no warranty and no second chances. An hour on our lift can save you thousands. We have seen clean looking cars with rotted brake lines, frames softened by salt, leaking head gaskets and codes that had been cleared the morning of the sale.
Ask the seller to let you bring the car to us. A seller who says no is telling you something.

What you get
