You can also have them inspect certain areas of concern a bit closer than normal. The INDY will give you a green light, flat out say NO with reason(s), or say yes but you need to fix the following immediately. You can then negotiate with the seller based on what needs to be fixed.

Well, that is my experience and I always buy used cars.
Good to know, I'll be more aggressive with dealers on inspection then.
