Default Who should pay for a pre-inspection on a used car?

So i'm buying a car from a guy, private party seller.

I'm going in TOMORROW morning to get a pre-inspection done with him.

Who should pay for the inspection?

ME?

HIM?

If the car is clean, should i pay for it?

If the car is dirty, should he pay for it?

Maybe i pay for it, or take it out of the asking price or something?

Thoughts? Comments? THANKS!

I would think you would since you're the buyer. If you like it just make him an offer less than what he asking anyway. You'll get your money back one way or another. What kind of car?

If he really wants to sell the car and has nothing to hide he should be paying for it IMO

The buyer is responsible for the inspection, the seller is just selling the product. If you really want to see what you are buying, get it inspected.
