Describe More Than the Visible Damage
State whether the engine starts, transmission engages, steering unlocks and wheels roll. List missing keys, battery, catalytic converter, wheels, seats or body panels. Explain previous fire, flood or collision damage instead of relying on photos alone.
Photograph the Vehicle Before Pickup
Keep recent front, rear, side, interior and VIN-label photos. Include damaged areas and the space surrounding the car. These provide a shared reference for the condition described when the offer was discussed.
Confirm Ownership and Access
Ask which ownership documents must be reviewed. Provide the type of property, surface, gate restrictions and parking position so towing requirements are known beforehand.
Review the Complete Terms
Confirm whether towing is included, when payment occurs and which specific conditions could change the amount. Keep the agreed details until the vehicle and documents have been transferred.
