B7 RS4 - pre-purchase inspection

[jc81]

Hi

I'm currently on the search for a 2006/2007 B7 RS4 Avant. My primary critera are mileage (sub 40k would be ideal) and colour (Daytona Grey) and ideally with the standard sport seats rather than the buckets.

I have found what appears to be the perfect car being sold privately and, while I'm not totally put off by a private sale, I obviously have some reservations. I will make sure the usual checks are carried out (hpi, mileage, insurance etc), and I am fairly well read on the common faults with the B7 RS4. I haven't seen any of the paperwork yet, but will be looking very closely at the maintenance history (claimed to be full Audi main dealer).

My question relates to pre-purchase inspections - does anyone know if Audi will do this for a car they are not selling themselves? Would you recommend the RAC inspection or are there any other Audi/performance car specialists that you have used who provide this service?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
James
