Reply to comment by uglybushes in Need a good PPI inspection done for a vehicle I'm buying from Carvana? by fobreezee

>You probably have to go to a 3rd party titling service like AAA. If you’re stuck on carvana just make sure they acquired the vehicle in the last 60 days and it’s not been sitting for a year passed around to different carvana locations.

Thanks for the help! I went out like 300 miles on my search and the trade value is 1-2k more than dealers I've called offered too. I've been researching everything and definitely read some horror stories, others have said it's a great experience with them. That why I'm looking for someone GOOD to do the inspection as my mechanic I've been having some issues with lately. I don't want to get some flooded vehicle or something. They give you a 7 day return policy, so as long as I find dont find anything in the inspection or driving it as much as possible in the first week. I might also go with something lower miles just bc it's scary.

Reputable dealers don’t sell flood cars. You want to make sure tires and brakes measure 50% or better. 2 keys is a plus and the less accidents the better.

Do you think they would cover the breaks in the first 7 days or the tires? That's a good point about flooded cars. I saw that. I wonder if it's just some mechanics that totally miss that it's a flood car. Is it super easy to tell if it's a flood car of some kind when they do an inspection?

A flood car get a a branded title. Certain dealers sell branded titles however reputable dealers won’t touch them. I don’t think they will cover the brakes and tires. Technically if they are 2/32 (tires) or 2/12 (brakes) they still pass pa inspection
