Buyers Tips - Section Two - Fit and Finish

   

What is Fit and Finish? Mainly, it's the way the car is put together. Do the body lines match? How much gap is there on the doors and trunk? Does the hood fit properly? These are things that are an underlying clue as to how well the car was constructed. Although some of these things can seem trivial, the amount of time that a builder spends making sure everything fits right can be tremendous. I've seen builders spend days getting the gaps right on the doors. As a general rule, when you see a car that has inconsistent gaps and body lines, this is a clue that the builder wasn't a professional. This is not meant to put down the home builder, only that things like this affect PRICE. A professionally built car that has had many, many hours spent on fit and finish will bring more money in the marketplace. There are lots of home builders just as good as the professionals and their cars will also bring the big dollars if the car is constructed well.

Let's look at it like this, if the builder spent a lot of time on fit and finish, it stands to reason that the rest of the car was built with the same attention to detail
