Upkeep Papers

Category

Vehicle buying and selling

Sheets for the hour you spend standing in front of a car you are thinking of buying, and for comparing it afterwards with the others you saw.

Buying a used vehicle privately is a memory test carried out under mild social pressure, in somebody else's driveway, usually in the rain. These sheets take the checks out of your head and put them on paper, so the car you choose is the one that came out best rather than the one you saw last.

Used Car Pre-Purchase Inspection Sheet

Carry out the same inspection on every car you view, so a decision made in somebody's driveway is based on what you saw rather than what you remember.
