Today, we were driving around town and noticed we were following three newly-sold cars with the temporary tags. We were a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it makes sense why car purchases are ticking up lately.
For one, people who can’t afford car payments anymore due to layoffs are selling their used cars.
For another, car dealerships are stuck with inventory they may not be able to move fast enough, so they are slashing prices on their new cars as well as their used car inventory.
Lastly, some people have older cars that are less reliable, so they are taking advantage of all the cars entering the for-sale market.
All these car sales bring up a valid point: Pre-Purchase Inspections. What do they entail and why do they matter?
Okay, if you are planning to buy a brand new car with a warranty, you don’t need to worry about a pre-purchase inspection. Or at least, you shouldn’t have to. You can skip the rest of this article if you wish.
