EDMONTON- An Edmonton mother is warning anyone shopping for a used vehicle to get their own mechanical inspection.

The warning comes after she says the car she purchased isn’t even roadworthy.

Melody Prevost says she trusted the dealer, who handed her an inspection sheet when she bought the vehicle; on it, the car passed with flying colours.
