Dealers want you to believe that if a used car is dealers certified it is in excellent condition. This may not be the case, so we recommend that you call us if you have your eye on a used Mercedes-Benz or another used European automobile. We will inspect the vehicle to make sure there isn’t any hidden damage or hidden problems. Let’s talk more about all of this below.
Test the Vehicle Yourself
When we say test the vehicle yourself, we mean inspect it thoroughly and take it for an extended test drive. The best way to know if the Mercedes-Benz runs as it should is to drive it for a while. You should also drive it at various speeds from city street speeds to highway speeds. You want to make sure that the Mercedes does not have any problems performing when you are driving slowly or fast.
Taking the vehicle for an extended test drive also gives you a chance to test various systems. For example, you can check to make sure the navigation system is working, the cruise control is working, and there aren’t any brake problems. You don’t want to go into the purchase of a used vehicle lightly. It is important to do your research to make sure the vehicle is in good shape.
Then, Let Us Test It
We will also help you determine if the used Mercedes-Benz that you have your eye on is right for you. We will inspect the vehicle from roof to tires to make sure there isn’t any hidden damage. For example, there are ways that we can tell that the Mercedes has been in an automobile accident. Some people do not report accidents after they occur.
We will also test every system to make sure they are working properly. We will inspect the vehicle including the brake system, cooling system, fuel system, and transmission to make certain you don’t have any upcoming repairs. We will run a diagnostic test to ensure that the test comes back error-free. Diagnostic tests often report problems that are invisible to the naked eye.
We want to make sure that the Mercedes-Benz you buy is safe and reliable. As such, a pre-purchase inspection gives us the opportunity to test everything so you know your Mercedes is not a lemon. Call us today to set up an appointment for a pre-purchase inspection for your used Mercedes-Benz.
