Buying a car - take a jack?

[FussyFez]

The AA / RAC inspection thread got me thinking.

I've been stung before after buying a car without having a good poke around underneath.

Has anybody ever gone the whole hog and jacked a car up for a good look underneath? Would you consider it?

How would you react if I turned up to buy your car and wanted to Jack it up?


I personally wouldn't want some random jacking my car, but I'd happily lift and secure it for the buyer to crawl underneath, but what if the seller isn't comfortable with jacking themselves, or the buyer jacking?

Would you walk from a car if the seller refused?

Interesting mix of responses.

Fully expected to be told to sod off, but it's nice to see a few that wouldn't object.
