Ask an expert

Hi there,
I was just wondering if you can point out all the differences between AA appraisal and AA pre-purchase inspection of a used vehicle. And is there a need to do both?

No lengthy explanations, just plain English, Lehman terms with your expert recommendation.

Many thanks

Hi there,
In short, the Appraisal is a dealer-only inspection and is about 30% of what should be checked to satisfy and potential buyer. The dealer pays for this and can choose to share it or not. We don't recommend using an Appraisal as the sole check for buying a vehicle, it is a basic check to ensure the dealer of a few things before putting the vehicle up for sale.
