Why would you allow some inspections, but with others try and claim they aren't necessary because the cars go through a "39 point pre delivery check", at least be consistent in allowing all or none! |

I'm glad you've went with the advice on here. I suspect it's saved you at least one sleepless night.
With regards to the AA/RAC checks. I totally see the point of them for someone like my parents buying a 4 year old Ford Focus or something. Gives them a bit of reassurance and at least some come back on a car that hopefully wouldn't ever throw up more than 1 huge bill in it's life. With something a bit more specialist i think you're always better getting a reputable indie to check it over if you don't personally have the know how. Even popping along to a specialist garage and talking to one of the mechanics can be a big help. I did this when i was researching buying a 996. Just popped in and had a 5 minute chat with a mechanic at a local specialist indie and he gladly gave me his opinion on the models, how many they see in, common issues, what to look for etc.

Any decent garage would let you gave an inspection tion carried out, clearly something to hide.

I naively trusted them as it was AA. But i'm now past 40 and well on my way to a cynical OB. Having read the rest of the thread - i'm glad you asked the questions of the dealer. Good luck with search. |
