2021 Honda CR-V — what should a real pre-purchase inspection include? — buyer question from Florida

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If one piece looks too good on the 2021 Honda CR-V, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Then the comparison gets honest. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' If the title is messy I'm out, full stop.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. In Florida, insurance quotes flipped a 2021 Honda CR-V comparison for me more than the sale price did. Then the comparison gets honest. This is from a 2021 Honda CR-V in Florida with 60,500 miles. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2021 Honda CR-V so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. That's the sequence I'd use. Sleeping on the number either way.
