Just wanted to add that`s it`s getting harder to get a mechanic to give you
an opinion that has any paper work included with it. I won`t anymore because
it gives the person the license to do what ever they want with the car and
if it breaks it`s your fault, not theirs, and then expect you to fix it, no
charge. Used auto buyers are shooting themselves in the foot and they will
have to pay the piper sooner or later. Hope there are some competent
mechanics left when they wake up.

Something wrong with making money now? They provide a guarantee on odometer
problems under which, if they miss any DMV report, they will pay 110% of KBB
value of the vehicle. The guarantee also applies to vehicles that had been
totaled, returned under lemon laws, or had fire/flood damage. After which I
would hope they would go after the seller who knowingly had an inaccurate
title notarized.

Your last statement is as inaccurate as mine was about vehicle damage. Not
everyone is a car expert. There are a lot of disreputable people and
dealers. The things I mentioned are cheap insurance.

Sorry your opinion is inaccurate, have you been in court lately. I took a
jerk to court to prove he was at fault while he was driving his car and
damage it. I didn`t win but I got it settled without to much cost and no way
for him to come back on me for the total damages. My last statement stands,
the court decides that, you don`t. There are a lot of disreputable people
buying cars also. Cheap insurance is just that, cheap, try to get a
settlement. Yes, there is something wrong with making money the insurance
way.
