how do I know condition of car?

Asked by sheilakash Jun 24, 2020 at 06:36 PM about the Subaru Forester

Question type: General

I am looking for a car and I see that the cars you have online are from different
states. I know you'll be able to deliver to me from different states, but how do I
know the condition of the car? isn't it risky to just pay for a car and not have
seen it or driven in it before paying?

Of course is it risky, that is why I always recommend looking at and driving the car in person. Find one local to you. In most cases you will be paying for the shipping unless you use dealers like Carvana.

CG's does not deliver cars. You can pay a service like Lemon Squad to inspect the car.
