How to Add a Post-Sale Inspection (PSI) to Your Vehicle Purchase

Unexpected post-sale issues can significantly impact your return on investment as a wholesale vehicle buyer. Manheim’s Post-Sale Inspection (PSI) service provides a thorough inspection of your purchase before it leaves the lot, ensuring you get precisely what you purchased.

What is a PSI?

A PSI is a comprehensive mechanical, structural, and flood inspection following a sale that adheres to National Auto Auction Association guidelines. It provides a snapshot of the vehicle’s condition post-sale and can identify any inconsistencies with the listing condition. A PSI also comes with the PSI Guarantee, meaning that Manheim will make it right if any issues are missed, allowing you to buy confidently and knowing your investment is covered.
