Buying from dealers with good rep - inspection or not ?

[ewan221]

As my car is not shifting private looks like its going to have to be p/ex. Was really wanting to buy private and get an independant inspection to hopefully get a better deal for my money but not too be.

Reading through the forum dealers such as Hexam Horseless (nearest to me I think) have a good rep so wondering if I really need to get an independant inspection as well ?

Any other dealers I should look at - closer to Scotland the better :-)

Just my personal opinion, but I suggest you do. Gives you that extra peace of mind and a second pair of independent eyes that might spot something worth considering before you do your purchase.

And that is a general policy I apply to all my car purchases, even if I trust the seller explicitly.
