CARCHEX recommends ordering a Lemon Squad inspection before you buy an exotic used vehicle
Your exotic car is a fine piece of machinery! While the inspection itself seems similar to the Standard inspection, inspectors take more time, focus more attention, and examine in deeper detail every aspect of the vehicle. We take additional time and detailed care examining the finer points necessary and deserving of a fine automobile like this.
Ideal for exotic and high-performance vehicles

- Presence of scratches, cracks, dents, or rust
- Underbody check for any signs of rust or damage

- Check lights, A/C, gauges, and operation of all other electrical items
