Used-Vehicle Evaluation & Reconditioning

Evaluate the vehicle that is actually in front of you, turn evidence into a defensible reconditioning scope, and keep condition reporting separate from the eventual buy/sell decision.

Professional boundary: This module teaches inspection and reconditioning reasoning, not appraisal, title/legal certification, structural certification or a guarantee of vehicle condition. Verify applicable laws, disclosures, OEM procedures and business policies.
