For most Malaysians, purchasing a vehicle is a costly but necessary investment. Automobiles can be complicated, it can be difficult finding “the one”, it can be difficult to examine and determine the cars’ safety, cosmetic, and mechanical condition.
The industry lingo is to perform a PPI, also known as a Pre Purchase Inspection. A PPI is best conducted by a professional auto technician, equipped with the respective tools. For example, manufacturer diagnostic tools for the corresponding car should always be used; Porsche Cars should always use PIWIS3, Mercedes-Benz should use XENTRY, and Jaguar, Land Rover cars should always use a Pathfinder. With the assistance of a proper tool, and in the hands of a trained professional, the mechanic can pinpoint any existing conditions and highlight potential issues that could arise in the future, and will investigate to make sure any previous damage has been properly repaired.
By ensuring the vehicle is in “Buy and Drive” condition, you can be more confident in your purchase and validate the trustworthiness of your Salesperson and dealership. The worst-case scenario? You will uncover some secrets the dealership doesn’t want you to find out, and you’ll be leveraging this in your price negotiation, or walk away entirely.
As of now, there is no standardized PPI inspection, the attention to detail & level of expertise can vary from auto workshop to auto workshop. At Western Motor Sports, our comprehensive PPI is a highly comprehensive check that will take an 3-4 hours (the standard express checks will take 1-2 hours), and is only done by selected, highly-skilled technicians with the corresponding Diagnostics tool.
While a PPI will not guarantee every flaw be accounted for, it will highlight the most crucial ones that directly affect you. Lastly, it will serve as an important piece of documentation for your After-Sales care, as well as for the next owner for when you eventually decide to move on.
