  6. keep a record of your checks even if you dont want to give the customer a copy try and make sure cars have no faults before retailed as something stupid like a non working ciggie lighter for the snowflakes daughters smilipod could cause other issues on return when customer brings a sheet of silly faults also needing attention if not sure give the car a full global scan too to pick up any previous issues never let customers find the fault, find it yourself, even if it means stocking lower numbers of cars,your reputation stands on the last washing machine with wheels on you sold
