As title really - looking at a car that is a bit of an unknown (repossession car)

Would like a decent inspection as it seems mint but I have made this mistake before with an Alfa!

I have heard these guys are decent but coul ddo with someone closer

There are some BMW specific niggles (radio, parking sensors, air con) so would like someone who knows the cars.

TIA

Thats still 30 mins away - he was not wild about 'lending' me his car to do this so was hoping to find someone who is local or will travel.

Might have to push him to let me have it for a day!

just rant them - I assumed they would charge me the earth for not-alot.

Actually they offer a 'health check' which seems fairly comprehensive for £60.

Bad thing is they are book over a week in advance....
