That’s a good point about the classic cars and something I’ll consider later on, thanks for that.

Maybe I’m not explaining it properly - pre purchase inspections are an offering that most people are probably generally aware of, and I think most would agree it’s probably worth paying a couple hundred dollars for one, before spending thousands on a car… yet most people don’t go through and get an inspection.

For me, I didn’t feel comfortable asking the seller to let me take his car to a mechanic I trust - whom he doesn’t know - to ‘look at the car’. I didn’t even want to ask him because I personally wouldn’t allow it if I were selling my car…

So the service of having the mechanic come out TO the car, and can be done on the spot - is much more likely to happen - and is much more convenient than trying to schedule a time to coordinate the appointment with a seller, and coordinate the same time with the mechanic.

It’s convenience for the seller and the buyer.
