Always ask the dealership for the full vehicle inspection report—this shows what the mechanic actually found, not just what was repaired. Carfax is useful, but it only shows documented repairs, not the real condition of the vehicle during inspection. #negotiation #carbuyingsecrets #buyingacar #carbu
