I think its just a safety inspection, I've done one before, it was very basic, check front signals/rear signals working, check suspension, check brake lights and reverse lights and that was it

Is the car older then 12 years?

yeah, there is an insurance checklist, mechanic will go over and and check it off. Not sure of the cost now. 50-60 bux maybe? Maybe it was 30, I can't recall... Has to be done on a standard form, which the garage should have.

Tell him to piss off, or pay for it himself. I had a few ppl ask me to do it at my cost on a few cars ive sold and i said if you want the piece of mind, you pay for it. The oop sheet should cover enough, they are just trying to make you pay for what they should rightfully pay for.

:thumbsdow stupid people

thnx for all the info fellas.

If you do want to do it, just go and get a form from any registry, there is no charge. Different garage's charge different rates, so maybe call around...

How long ago did you do the OOP?

He probably wants it because he knows that when he goes to insure it, he will need an inspection. This way, he doesn't have to pay for it.

With that said, if your OOP is less than a year old and you still have the checklist, you should be able to give him a copy and he should be able to use it for his insurance policy (I know we would accept it anyway).

OOP is done in Feb. He said that he will pay for the inspection.

If all he wants it for is his insurance company, just give him a copy of the your OOP. That should be enough to cover him.

Also known as a pre-purchase inspection.

I did that with my first car purchase. It's $100 at almost any automotive shop. It's better to get it done at CMA certified shop; I did it at Dale Adams Automotive (McLeod and 75th)...it's a waste if you are the seller doing it, because it's an excuse for the buyer to negotiate the price based on anything that's wrong with the car.
