Found a used Prado on Facebook Marketplace that looks clean in the photos and the price is almost too reasonable, but when I asked if I could get it inspected before paying a deposit the seller got weird about it and said “you can bring a mechanic to look at it in the parking lot.” That felt off to me, because a proper check on a lift is a completely different thing to someone poking around outside. I’ve been reading https://prepurchasecarinspection.ae/blog/warning-signs-used-car-inspection-dubai/ and a few of the things mentioned there are exactly what I’d want to check on this car, especially the accident history and chassis stuff. Am I being paranoid or is this a genuine reason to walk away? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s bought used here and whether sellers usually cooperate with inspections or push back like this.
