1998 Renault Sport Spider
The exterior was inspected for cosmetic issues and functionality. The paint looked good, with no signs of previous repairs. The window trim and door seals were in good condition, and the glass was free of obvious damage. Both the headlights and taillights were clear and free of any noticeable cracks or other damage. Panel gaps and shut lines appeared to be normal.
During the interior inspection, the climate control and infotainment systems were observed to function properly. All essential features, including windows, locks, mirrors, and gauges, operated correctly during the inspection. There were no indications of smoke or unusual odors.
The engine bay and undercarriage components were visually inspected to check for any indications of leakage, deterioration, and fluid conditions. All accessible fluids were at their proper levels and displayed a healthy color. There were no visible signs of leaks or seepages underneath.
A test drive was conducted, and the vehicle accelerated as expected, performing well in terms of ride quality, acceleration, and handling. I did not detect any odd noises or vibrations during the inspection. The brakes felt firm, with no detectable pulsation.
The tires were inspected for tread depth and any unusual wear patterns. All four tires are of the same brand and show sufficient remaining tread depth.

This report is a visual and road-test evaluation of the vehicle’s observable condition at the time of inspection. It is a buying guide — not a mechanical warranty, a diagnostic breakdown, or a recommendation for or against purchase.
This report reflects a visual and road-test evaluation of observable conditions at the time of inspection only. Vehicles are not placed on a lift, 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 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 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 purchaser of a vehicle from Customer.
Without limiting the Limited Warranty, Disclaimers, Limitations on 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. The vehicle inspection is intended solely as an “evaluation” of a given vehicle’s condition at the time, date and place of examination. Wrench Inc., and its affiliates including LemonSquad, specifically disclaims any liability for any loss or damage arising in connection with ownership or operation of said vehicle and further disclaims any liability of any hidden wreck, flood damage or tampered components not readily apparent upon visual inspection. 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. Further disclaimed is any 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 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.
