Hey i'm looking to buy an 07 4thgen(out of state)...

I'm not the most tech-savvy guy so I was going to get it inspected by a vehicle inspection service--- AiM Mobile Inspections (google them) so I was wondering if anybody has used them before, or any other inspection company. Let me know if you guys have any advice on the matter before I move forward with it. Thanks!

 

Never used an inspection service. I'm assuming that you are using them to inspect the car for overall condition before purchase and not for some state requirements? Have you taken it for a test drive? Here are a few things you can check out

1. look for leaks around the engine compartment, under the car or trails of leaks running under the bottom of the body.
2. look at the coolant level and see that it does not have oil floating around in it.
3. Tire wear is even.
5. does it pull to either side during braking
6. oil pressure at start up and after engine warms to normal operating temps and does the car smoke when running. Listen for engine noise such as pings, ticks or knocks. Check for any warning lights on dash such as ABS, aribag, etc.
7. look underneath the vehicle for signs of damage such as crinkled body parts or frame as well as rust in fender wells. Look at hood, doors, etc to see that they align properly by the gap between them and the rest of the body.
8. check the belts for cracks, radiator hoses fill firm and are not spongy, but these are easy fixes.
9. Check tranny fluid level, color (should be a reddish color) and smell to see if it smells burnt. When driving, watch for tranny slippage.
10. you can also have the VIN number run through something like carfax for a history of any collison repairs.

This is just a quick list but can tell one alot about a vehicle as to if it is even one to consider buying before paying to have an inspection service perfrom the work.

Of course, this is just my opinion and what I look for when I am looking at vehicles.

 

If you can find an 07, grab it. It's an ultra rare car, especially since 4th gen production ceased after the 02 model.
Is it a 97 perhaps?

 

LOL! Wow! I didn't even catch that the first time I read it! I guess I just seen 4th gen.
