The seller is actually putting his reputation on the line. I would trust him.

My dealer does an inspection of a used car for 1 hour's labor. An extra hour to do a compression check.

They can tell me if an ant farted in the trunk.

The last used car we bought was an '08 XC70 - the inspection revealed a bad vacuum pump, and the tech wrote it up as the brake pads do not properly contact the discs. (rusty Disks)

How did they suspect the vacuum pump? Because they know these cars.

The selling dealer installed a new vacuum pump, new front rotors, turned the rear rotors, and installed new brake pads all around - AFTER I had a good price from them. (about $8000 less than any other '08 XC70s that I found.)

We have owned this car for 4 years and it has only required oil changes and a set of wiper blades - the brakes are only half worn now.
