Check It Carefully

March 08, 2011
Quick Tips
When you are looking at the engine under the hood, take a quick peek at the inner fenders and mounting flanges for bent metal and paint overspray. These are areas that most people don't take the time to fix properly and damage or weird paint here is a good indicator that the vehicle has been wrecked and you need to beware. CHECK IT OVER CAREFULLY!
