Get an independent vehicle inspection.

Buying from a garage I thought it would give me some piece of mind that what I buying was in good condition. I had an independent inspection done (after buying stupidly). Car had a snapped coil spring and unsafe brakes that all needed changing. Apparently the car was serviced before collection which amounted to an oil and filter change, Would these issues not have been seen when their mechanic was under car draining the oil? Or was the oil even done? We'll never know. I had the work done on the car myself because I wouldn't trust them doing the work. Including an oil and filter change. The buyer should not be expected to climb under the car to inspect it. Its the garage selling the car to make sure its up to a good standard!
