BUYSURE · FAQ
Questions before
you buy?
A few straightforward answers about how BuySure works, what we inspect and what our report can — and cannot — tell you.
Who is BuySure working for?
BuySure works for the buyer. Our role is to provide an independent assessment of the vehicle so you can make a better-informed purchase decision.
Can you inspect a car from a dealer or a private seller?
Yes. The inspection is buyer-focused and can be arranged for vehicles being sold privately or through a dealer, subject to access and practical arrangements.
Where do you currently operate?
Our initial physical inspection area is Cape Town, South Africa. Travel outside the normal service area can be considered and may be quoted separately before the inspection.
What do I need to send you?
Send us the vehicle listing or basic vehicle details, its location, seller or dealer details if available, and the inspection service you are considering. If you are unsure, simply tell us about the car and we will help you choose.
What does the inspection report contain?
The report records the observable condition within the agreed inspection scope, relevant findings, photographic evidence, value guidance where included, buyer advice and a BuySure verdict.
Does BuySure guarantee that a car will not break down?
No. An inspection records observable condition at the time of inspection. It is not a warranty, statutory roadworthy certificate, insurance assessment or guarantee against future failure.
What does the BuySure verdict mean?
BUY SURE means the vehicle appears to be a sound purchase based on the available evidence and assessed scope. BUY WITH CAUTION means issues need attention, negotiation or further investigation. DO NOT BUY means significant concerns make the purchase difficult to recommend.
Can you inspect a classic car for an overseas buyer?
Yes. BuySure offers classic-car inspections in Cape Town for purchasers elsewhere in South Africa and internationally. The scope and price are confirmed before the inspection.
Can I ask BuySure to focus on a particular concern?
Yes. Tell us what you are worried about when you book. We can take that concern into account when confirming the inspection scope, subject to what can reasonably be assessed on site.
What if the seller will not allow the inspection?
The inspection requires reasonable access to the vehicle and any agreed testing. If access or testing is restricted, the report will identify limitations and items that could not be assessed.
STILL NOT SURE?
Tell us about the car.
Send the listing and we'll help you choose the right next step.
