Will a dealer let me take a used car for an independent inspection?

Many dealers allow it, either by letting you take the car to a nearby mechanic or by allowing a mobile inspector to come to the lot. Policies vary, and some may ask for a deposit, a copy of your license, or that a staff member go along. Ask before you visit so you can schedule it. OffLot's lot mode includes a question about independent inspection among the questions to ask the dealer.
