most cars look clean from the pictures, but physical inspection often reveal other things not mentioned by seller.
Dont say "very clean" until you inspect.

no bi lie u talk oh.seeing is believing cos pics sometimes dey talk story wey eyes dey disprove ;d

true talk bro.

poster, you're right. besides the physical dents, also the engine performance may not be that 'clean' and you cannot detect that fact from mere pictures!

i concour. That is to say NEVER JUDGE A SOUP FROM THE SMELL !

[b]Inspecting vehicles should be an important factor when buying.

Firsly, there are cars that were involved in an accident but have a clean title and the car-fax report may not mention the accident.

Then, there are some vehicles sold as clean title and have serious issues which may not be disclosed by the seller or noticed on mere pictures. Whereas, some salvage car may just be a mere theft recovery. The issue of clean title will not include some personal accident that was sold by the owner who have no insurance coverage or who refused to informed the insurance company of any accident.

Car may be clean and may not function properly. I noticed that majority of buyers on NL ask for lower mileage car. Lower mileage should not be a measure to knowing the performance of a car; inspection should. In North America, for example, if an engine is changed you are not allowed, by law, to reduce the kilometer cluster to reflect the new engine.

When buying a car, have a good mechanic inspect the engine performance. Also get a good autobody-man (panel beater) inspect the frame and do not pay much emphasis on the body been clean; they are replaceable, check the frame or chassis.[/b]

i concour with the issue of the chassis of a vehicle being most important when shopping for any car cos on this part of the vehicle,lies the strenght/load.other parts are replaceable by a good mech.but replacing chassis like oyibo do am,e get as e bi oh.

exactly! a vehicle may have a shiny exterior but the engine may be smoking like a locomotive! 

I can't agree less with this topic, I took a picture with my car recently with a 12mega camera and the car appeared much more cleaner than it is phisically.
