I'm planning to buy a used car and want to get it checked out by a mechanic in the Raleigh/Wake Forest area where I plan to buy the car. Any recommendations? I've never gotten a pre-purchase inspection by a mechanic when buying cars in the past so I'm not really sure how that works (if you have to make an appt and plan to do it during the week or what) so I'd appreciate some guidance on that as well. Also what should I expect to pay to add a manufacturer warranty to the purchase (buying from a dealer)?
