Inspecting a Used Car The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition its in. A car thats been in a major accident is always a bigger risk, but sellers often try to hide this information. Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal. For about $80 he will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle, In his 10 years as a professional inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot. He warns, Watch out for dealer demonstration vehicles which are used, not new. The may have been in a collision. He adds that it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it. Bleakley has special tools to check for this. Do a visual check of the car. Look at the right rear door hinges. If they are very worn, or the door doesnt close well, the car may have been used as a taxi. Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries. Dont assume that new-looking brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasnt been driven much. Resellers know people check these details and can buy new pads for around $6. 1.According to the passage, in buying a second-hand vehicle it is most important to know B. what color it is .
