Pre-Purchase Inspection, I believe.

Unless you do it after purchase - then it becomes Post Purchase Inspection. Pre it certainly better...

I got the car back from the shop last night… you were right, not immobilizer but it was apparently some big rats nest was in there and a bunch of wires had been chewed up from this rat and so they repaired all of the wires and the car runs great and every kiddie function works!! It ended up being like $570 which I honestly thought it was gonna be worse because they then inspected every wire after they saw the nest to make sure that there wasn’t others that were chewed and now my top works perfectly!!! Thank you for your help!
