Sorry I don't buy it.
My last car I traded in when I got my new one last year was beaten to hell! However the interior and exterior looked perfect and they even gave me max dollars for it because it was in such good condition. However what they didn't know was there was a point where I went 2 years without an oil change, rad slowly leaked but you wouldn't know unless you had it for more than 3 months. You can't tell everything from one inspection no matter how good the mechanic is, problems can be hidden and then jump out at you a few years down the road.
I had a friend ask if she could buy my car for the same price the dealership was going to give me and I wouldn't sell it to her because I knew.
