______________________________________________________________________________ Although the above links may help offer information about a vehicle, the only way to determine the vehicle's actual condition is by a professional inspection covering the mechanical, electrical, and frame systems. A professional inspection by Auto P. I. Used Car Inspections will give you true condition of the vehicle, and a dollar figure amount for any needed repairs. That amount should be deducted from the book value to determine the TRUE value of the vehicle.
