  • Vehicle walk-around and exterior check

  • As you walk around the vehicle inspect each body panel for dents, dings, obvious paint blemishes or rust spots, etc.

  • Also check for missing or damaged trim pieces and emblems.

  • Ask if the vehicle has been repainted, when it was done, and whether the color was changed. If the vehicle was repainted pay special attention for signs of a sub-par paint job such as over-spray on trim or within the wheel wells, excess "orange peel", places where the color looks faded or doesn't match, etc. Examples:

  • Fading paint where it was applied poorly

  • Over spray, the rubber windshield seal was painted over
