Coffee Brake: Q&A with Frank from InspectX

DT E-i-C Vince: For this week's Coffee Brake, I sat down with Frank Kosarek from InspectX and asked him about mobile pre-purchase inspections.

DailyTurismo: Tell us the a bit about the steps for the perfect Pre-Purchase Inspection.

Frank Kosarek from InspectX: Buying a private-party car is an exciting concept for an enthusiast. Not only can you find rare, low-mileage examples, but without a middleman, you can score an incredible car for thousands less (like on DT). 

Here’s the trouble––a dealership stands behind any car they sell. A private seller doesn’t. That means it’s up to you to verify the quality of the car you’re buying. 

In comes the pre-purchase inspection (PPI), which is a mechanical and cosmetic check that you can order on any car for peace of mind. 

DT Guest Post: Jewel Or Jalopy: Pre Purchase Inspections By Car Enthusiasts

We’ve all been there – you’ve found a car on Daily Turismo that looks great, but you know that the vague descriptions and out-of-focus photos in many car ads can easily hide potentially expensive and time-consuming issues.  You want to know more but you're not ready to ask the seller to take the car to a mechanic for a full-blown inspection. What you want is someone knowledgeable who can go look at it, check it out, and report back. That's where Jewel or Jalopy comes in.
