Being Unprepared to Have Your Car Checked By a Mechanic
A potential buyer might want to have your car checked by a mechanic before committing to purchasing it. This is a reasonable request. However, make sure that this checkup will be done by a licensed service facility at the buyer’s expense.
Plan to deliver the car to the shop at the appointed time and wait while the mechanic completes the examination. If you can, get a copy of the clean bill of health that results so that you can show it to other prospective buyers if this person chooses not to go through with the purchase.
