996 TT - where to get it inspected pre pickup?
Discussion
Hi all,
just put a nominal deposit on a 52 plate 996TT with a private seller - am overjoyed!
However, before getting carried away and paying the balance, i think i should get an inspection done just to be sure that nothing is lurking despite recent porsche services and all round a good car from condition and FPSH etc. Does that make sense or am i being overly cautious? Car drives as it should and feels tight like the good ones do.
The car is in Yorkshire near Leeds but i'm in London so not the easiest thing to arrange! Here are my options (any others?):-
111pt check at Porsche Leeds - £150+ vat
RAC check £315
independent specialist up that way (Malton???)
Porsche told me to use the RAC (!!) but I'm not convinced an RAC mechanic is gonna know the quirky bits that go wrong with these cars vs a Porky mechanic.
Car had the major spark plug service (44k miles) recently, and has had new rads at the front mid last year too.
Appreciate your help/comments
Thanks
