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.
If you buy a used vehicle without knowing how often the oil was changed, you deserve what you get.

If the vehicle i'm buying doesn't have a complete record of it's oil changes i'm not interested.
