Why buyers in Marine Lines inspect before paying
Local reasons a PDI matters in Marine Lines.
High-society new car handovers
A lot of Marine Lines PDI work is a car being taken from the city showroom to a resident's society the same evening. We meet the buyer at the society and grade the car on the spot.
Used-car purchases from private sellers
Second-hand deals here are often broker-led. Our report is deliberately written for the buyer, not the seller, so it holds up when you are negotiating on the spot.
