Walkaround Notes 1
Walkaround Notes Defined:
Fleetwise offers prospective buyers complimentary notes on each light vehicle in the Palmerston North yard. These notes are honest & is used as a tool to help bidders know more information on the vehicle which otherwise wouldn’t be mentioned. These notes are accumulated on a brief walk around of the vehicle & does not constitute a detailed inspection or prepurchase inspection.
Disclaimer:
Note: This report is not a warranty & is a guide only. This report is not a detailed pre purchase inspection & should not be relied upon solely. Consideration is made for age and mileage. Parts have not been dismantled or no diagnostic testing undertaken. Walkaround notes are based off a brief visual inspection only. Information is correct at date of walkaround & may vary at time of delivery. Fleetwise believes a full, independent mechanical inspection of the item is essential prior to bidding.
