2024 Jeep Gladiator — seller will not allow a pre-purchase inspection

V8Fan152Community StarterAug 8, 20262024 Jeep Gladiator MojaveDallas
2024 Jeep Gladiator Mojave, about 31,000 miles. 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? I would rather test this logically than replace parts. What would you check next?

I would start here: get insurance quotes before you fall in love with the 2024 Jeep Gladiator — that flipped a deal for me in Dallas.

Before you spend money, a written buyer’s order is worth more than a phone promise on a 2024 Jeep Gladiator.

Before you spend money, a written buyer’s order is worth more than a phone promise on a 2024 Jeep Gladiator. That is from a 2024 Jeep Gladiator in Dallas, so take the climate with a grain of salt.

If it were mine, I would not send a deposit before I have seen the 2024 Jeep Gladiator and the title situation.

One thing that mattered for me: a written buyer’s order is worth more than a phone promise on a 2024 Jeep Gladiator.

Update from me — I asked for a buyer’s order and finally have sale price, fees, and trade on separate lines.
