问题1.According to the passage, in buying a second-hand vehicle it is most important to know
1.The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition it's in. A car that's been in a major accident is always a bigger risk, but sellers often try to hide this information. Andrew Bleakley, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal. For about $80 he will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle. In his 10years as a professional inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot. He warns, “Watch out for dealer demonstration7 vehicles which are used, not new. They may have been in a collision.”

问题2.All of the following are mentioned as tricks which dishonest second-hand car dealers may play upon their customers EXCEPT
He adds that it is not uncommon8 in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it. Bleakley has special tools to check for this.
2.Bleakley always recommends hiring an independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it. The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection, which he says generally doesn't mean just any mechanic. A thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression, all major systems, including the engine, electrical and charging systems, transmission and drive line, fluids, brakes, suspension, and steering9.
brake 刹车
a)to re-paint the car
b)to roll back the odometer.
