"Body work and a new paint job can make a wrecked car look good as new on the outside. What you can't see in a salvaged car is its twisted frame, the cracks, its electrical problems and more." Channel 10 News, San Diego CA 11/12/2008. See story here
Pre-Purchase or Used Car Inspections Consumers' Auto Detective will inspect a used car or truck to ensure the quality, safety, function and value before you buy a used vehicle. Why should you have a used car inspected before you buy?
Good Morning America, ABC NEWS Channel 10 News, San Diego
Nov 2008 Over eight years and the number of rebuilt vehicles
being sold as safe and damage-free is growing. In light of today's
economy, fewer new cards sold and fewer reliable trade-ins, that number will
only increase. The California Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) advises: "Before you buy any vehicle, it is always wise to have an expert check it out. The engine isn't the only item to consider before purchasing a used car. The condition of the frame and body are just as important because proper frame and body repairs can often cost more than the vehicle is worth and improper repairs could be structurally unsafe. That's why it's important to find out if repairs were made and if they were made correctly."

problems before you buy If you already own a vehicle that you think may have a collision history, it may not be too late.
