My friend bought an Escort GT from somebody in Herndon a few years ago. He made an appointment for a pre-purchase inspection at a shop on Elden Street down there. The place was accross the street from Anitas Mexican Rest. I went with him and if I remember correctly they charged him like 60 and did a thorough inspection. They found a bunch of minor things wrong with it. The guy that was selling the car didn't know anything about cars and when he saw the list he flipped out because he thought the car was falling apart. We ended up barganing him down to like half his original asking price. I don't remember the name of the shop but I do remember it was a car dealership also.
