An inspection II before purchase???? What if you dont buy??Thats the best part of £500 down the gutter!!

Book the car in at the dealers and ask them to do the 120 point check that they would do on the car if they were taking it in part exchange. In the UK this costs aproximately £120. Also ask for a compression check too, this is an extra £60. I think these checks will unearth most faults on the vehicle, and will provide a report and "results" from the compression test.
