2024 Ford F-150 — seller will not allow a pre-purchase inspection

Car looks clean and the price is fair, but seller says they do not have time for a PPI because other buyers are interested. Would you treat that as an automatic walk-away?

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. A rushed deposit before you can inspect the 2024 Ford F-150 is enough reason to walk. That's where I'd start. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. Independent PPI on the 2024 Ford F-150 is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Ford F-150 in Nashville. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
