Good luck with your purchase. Don't buy the car if they won't let you take it to your mechanic.

If there is nothing wrong with it then they will let you. The mechanics around here puts the car on a machine and then it will tell all that is wrong with it. They charge 65 dollars where I am from. just ask the seller if you can take it to a shop to get it checked out. If there is nothing wrong with it then they will let you.
