[quote=Anonymous]at what point do we just accept that there's always going to be something wrong and we just buy the car and fix it?

The cars are 2016s with about 25-30k miles on them.  First one the inspection turned up a leaking rear axle and non working A/C.  Second one turned up about 5 different issues (oil leak, rear differential problems, sterring rack leak, issues with the rear shocks).  And that second one was certified pre-owned.  Looked at one at Carmax that had scratches, a broken part in the trunk, and a missing piece on one of the chairs...and it was dirty.  They wouldn't let us inspect. Looking at one tomorrow that they've agreed to allow an inspection on and I'm just so OVER this car search that I'm wondering...if the inspection comes back with problems, which ones are worth just dealing with ourselves and which ones are worth walking away.

The last two used cars we bought had perfect inspections.  I've never run into this problem before.

If the inspection does turn something up, what are the chances of the dealer being willing to fix it so that we'll buy?  Or do you think we can just negotiate some money off the price?[/quote]
