Pre-Purchase Inspection Client Testimonial
Recently I was looking at a classic car on Ebay that happened to be quite far away from where I live. The owner has described the car in great detail, and took some excellent pictures which made the car seem perfect. Even after talking to the owner on the phone, I was 100% confident this was the car for me. Nonetheless, I knew it was never a good idea to buy a car without having a professional look over the car first. I found Auto Appraise online (http://www.autoappraise.com), and was very impressed from the start with how the inspection was handled. Jason went out of his way to inspect the car on the owner's tight schedule and produced an amazingly detailed report with hundreds of pictures showing many defects and contradictions to the original ad on Ebay. We also discovered the car was not the model advertised, and the engine block casting number Jason pulled from the engine was actually for a 327ci, not a 350ci as the owner had advertised. Thanks to these major findings, along with a lot of other issues uncovered, Jason saved me about $7,000 from over-spending on a car that was really not very special and would never be worth the amount for which I almost paid. In the end owner refused to lower the price, or admit that he had misrepresented the car, so I walked away from the deal. I lost a deposit with the owner, and the amount of the appraisal, but I saved many more times that amount compared to being stuck with a car I overpaid for that needed a lot of work. I have since purchased the perfect 100% original number matching classic car near my home, and could not be happier thanks to Jason's professionalism and expertise.
Thank you,
Rick Miller
