No mechanic will leave there job to take a look at a car you might buy! Unless you have a family member that is a mechanic. Just ask the dealer if you can take the vehicle to a mechanic to get it inspected! If they say no...then you know not to do business with that dealer because they might be hiding something.

provided that a leap will start up it, i think of the hardship is your battery or the alternator! Did you have a load attempt on the battery? It takes as much as 3 hundred amps to crank the engine and purely approximately 30 amps to burn the lights. A load attempt will placed an electric rigidity on the battery and that's the only particular thank you to aim it! a place that sells batterys can do a unfastened load attempt for you. Did you have an amp output attempt on the alternator. The alt could be working, yet not coming up adequate amps to maintain the battery charged. a solid mechanic can attempt the output of the alternator. the only different element could be unfastened or corroded battery connections.

The dealership should allow you to take the vehicle to your mechanic and have it looked at. Most mechanics wont leave there job unless they own the place or they are off that day. So your best bet is to take it to the mechanic and also have a car fax pulled on it..

Just ask at the local service station if they know of anyone who offers this service. It'll probably cost you between $ 20 and $ 75, but if it prevents you from buying a real "dog" it's worth it.
You could also ask the seller to accompany you to a shop that specializes in this type of inspection, if you can't find anyone willing to come to you. A person with nothing to hide certainly wouldn't object to having the vehicle checked out.

you would be better off arranging with a repair shop in advance and take it to them where they can put it on a lift
