A pre-purchase inspection. The PPI helps prevent the new owner from uttering those three words that typically sours any used car purchase. Those three words being – ‘IT NEEDS WHAT?!?!?!?!’ And if the new owner’s spouse repeats those same words after they’re informed of the imminent megadollar repair, well, both the purchase and the month long "I-just-got-an-AMG" celebratory sex have officially been ruined. The “PRE-purchase” (before the money exchanges hands) is just as important as the inspection, which should be performed by a properly trained technician. Now, it is possible that some guy at the corner gas station is a Honda/Toyota/Chevy/John Deere specialist who happens to also know plumbing, open-heart surgery, and Mercedes-Benz automobiles – but I doubt it.
Well, I see the red light is on and my time is up. Please don’t forget to tip your waitress. They may dress like hookers, but I assure you, this is their sole source of income.
