What do other sellers/buyers think?

I would NEVER buy a vehicle, be it a boat, bike, car etc without fully inspecting it first.

You dont just go to a car yard and buy the first car you dont see.

When i buy a car even from a dealership i pay to get the nrma test done to make sure im not buying a lemon, and then if the nrma inspection finds things need to be fixed first, i then still dont buy till they have all been fixed.

I then dont just belive the fact sheet stating everything has been fixed, ill check off all things they said have been fixed/replaced to make sure they have before agreeing to hand over any money.

Your buyer is a smart cookie, no one in their right mind would hand over money without first checking out a boat, car etc.
