Cars inspected, real outcomes

“The inspection found worn front brakes, two low-tread tyres and a repainted rear bumper, and gave me a good reason for a lower offer.”

“I recently moved to the Netherlands and did not know which questions to ask a dealer. Razvan screened four Mazda 2 and inspected the two that looked strongest. We walked away from the first one because of an old undocumented accident. The second was clean, had a complete service history, and he negotiated the price down by €950.”

“Every Touran looked much the same online. Razvan spotted that the rear brakes and a major service were due, and the dealer agreed to do both before we collected it.”

“I delegated everything to Razvan, I didn't have time, not even to search the websites. The first XC40 had odd paint areas, so we left it. The next one tested well, had 94% battery health and was in very good condition. That was enough for me to feel comfortable buying it.”

“We mainly needed it for school runs, so the battery test mattered. Razvan also found a weak 12-volt battery and a missing cable; the dealer sorted both before collection.”

“I was ready to leave a deposit on the first BMW, but Razvan found signs of oil and coolant leaks. The seller would not investigate, so I walked away and bought a better one the following week.”

“The test drive felt fine, but the inspection picked up two worn tyres and an overdue DSG service. We had both put into the agreement and still paid less than the asking price.”
