Finding a quality used car to buy on craigslist can come with its challenges

This was being advertised as a clean title.

While Craigslist has plenty of great cars, it’s also full of hidden disasters.

That’s why every one of our inspections comes with thorough upfront research, no surprises. On average, we refund at least one inspection per week because our research alone uncovers issues serious enough that the client decides not to proceed.

Here’s an example: A client asked us to inspect a “Clean Title” 2008 Honda Fit. They gave us the real VIN (not the fake one in the ad). Within minutes we discovered the car wasn’t clean-title at all — it was a rebuilt salvage vehicle. The seller had deliberately swapped VINs in the listing to hide the truth.

Take a look at the proof in the photos below.
