Description

A lot of vehicles are sold every day and most people are honest when they are selling a used vehicle.  A good bit of vehicles are sound and road worthy but unfortunately all of them are not and not everyone is honest when selling a vehicle. There are so many different types of vehicles on the road today and multiple computer systems and mechanical systems are on these vehicles. We realize that not everyone is a mechanic but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't have the knowledge to make an informed decision when it comes to the vehicle purchasing process. The goal of this course is to identify those vehicles and give you the knowledge and information on what to look for when you are attempting to purchase a used vehicle. We have included over 2 hours of content, individual section checklists and an example video of a general walk around inspection of a used vehicle. We want to ensure that you are not misinformed when it comes to the purchase of a used vehicle. Follow along with us in the course as we explore different areas to inspect and what are major issues and what are minor issues with a used vehicle.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone and Everyone who is wanting to purchase a vehicle and wants to know basic ways to ensure the vehicle is mechanically sound.
