Engine Performance
When first starting the engine, there was an upper end knock that was consistent with lifter noise. The noise went away after approximately 10 seconds. This may be normal for this vehicle, but should be monitored. An engine on a cold start can do this if the vehicle has been sitting for a period of time. If the vehicle is started a few hours later, it should not make this noise. If it is still making this noise, then there is an issue and the upper end of the engine will need to be disassembled for further diagnosis.

Important Disclosures

This report reflects the inspector’s opinion based on a visual evaluation of reasonably accessible, observable conditions at the time of inspection only, together with a road test only if this report states that one was conducted. Vehicles are not placed on a lift or disassembled, and no diagnostic testing or teardown was performed. This inspection report is for information purposes only and is intended as a buying guide, not a mechanical warranty or diagnostic breakdown, and is not to be considered a recommendation for or against the purchase of the inspected vehicle. This report does not address value, title, VIN authenticity, vehicle history, odometer accuracy, open recalls, or emissions or smog compliance, and does not determine eligibility under any lemon law.

A green check mark in the detail section of the inspection report does NOT indicate that the specific components or systems are in good and operating condition under all circumstances. Rather, the check-mark signifies only that, at the time of inspection, the inspector observed the item to be present and noted no visible issue with it and, if a test drive was conducted, noted no issue during that drive, which cannot replicate all driving conditions.

This Inspection Report is governed by the terms and conditions of the order which were accepted by you at the time of placing the order and which are available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms and which contain important information, disclosures, disclaimers, limitations on liability, a class action waiver and mandatory arbitration.

This Inspection Report is for the sole and exclusive use of the Customer named above and may not be used or relied upon by any third party including, without limitation, any seller of the inspected vehicle or any purchaser of a vehicle from Customer.

Without limiting the Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations of Liability and Dispute Resolution provisions of the terms and conditions (available at https://lemonsquad.com/terms), there are no implied or express warranties or guarantees of any kind in connection with any vehicle inspection, and the Limited Warranty does not apply to inspections. The vehicle inspection is intended solely as an “evaluation” of a given vehicle’s condition at the time, date and place of examination. Wrench will perform each inspection with reasonable care within the scope stated in this report, and the report reflects the inspector’s opinion. Except as provided in the terms and conditions and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Wrench Inc., and its affiliates including LemonSquad, specifically disclaim liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with ownership or operation of said vehicle, and for any hidden wreck, flood damage or tampered components not readily apparent upon visual inspection. The vehicle inspection is not a warranty of originality or that every component of a vehicle’s applicable trim level at the time of manufacture is present or functioning in the vehicle, nor that aftermarket modifications to the vehicle have, or have not, been made. The items visually inspected were in the reported condition listed in the report at the time of the inspection only. A visual inspection will not identify the working condition of each and every vehicle part or component, nor will a visual inspection identify any or all missing, tampered or altered components. Intermittent component or systems issues or failures may not present themselves at the precise time of inspection and/or a vehicle may be tuned in a manner to mask or minimize any such issues; in either case, such intermittent issues may not be discoverable during inspection. Subject to the standard of care stated above, Wrench further disclaims liability for any damage or defects not found during inspection. Other conditions may exist which did not occur or appear during inspection. It is the customer’s responsibility to obtain the consent of the vehicle’s owner or seller to the inspection and any test drive, and to ensure the vehicle to be inspected is in a state in which the vehicle is legal to drive on public roads, safe and functioning well enough to start and drive, and located in a space that is accessible and allows the inspector full access to vehicle components. Vehicles that are not safe, legal, or in a running condition will not have a test drive performed. The inspector may decline or stop a test drive at any time in the inspector’s discretion. Any claim relating to an inspection must be submitted to Wrench in writing within thirty (30) days after the customer discovers the basis for the claim and, where practicable, before the vehicle is repaired or altered, so that Wrench may re-inspect the vehicle.
