Pre purchase inspection for RS Audi

[antspants]

I'm looking at a TTRS and need to organise a pre purchase inspection, does anybody have any recommendations of a mobile PPI service in the Herts area?

The AA do Pre purchase inspections.

Aa inspection and the like are pretty basic and rather generic (most of their check list could be checked by anyone with a small amount of mechanical knowledge - oil condition, whether lights work, tyre tread depth etc)
If you can't get it to a specialist, then you're better off seeing if a local Audi dealer will give it a more specific check over
They'll also likely to have someone who's seen a few TTRS's before, whereas the AA guy will do most of his inspections on things like Mondeos and vectras

Yes I've used RAC/AA for other cars previously but wondered if there would be a mobile VAG specialist for something like this.

Problem is you can't really ask the seller to take the time to take it to an Audi dealer to have an inspection done, it's not inconvenient if they're going to their home.

I've never come across a mobile inspector that could offer you anything more than any half way knowledgeable car enthusiast could tell you.

As for the AA/RAC ones I simply would not bother. There are numerous good specialists in the south east that could look at the car for you. Get a deposit on it and agree with the seller it's subject to it passing an inspection.

Arrange for an inspection at whatever garage has been servicing the car, an hours labour should cover it. If they're supplying the owner's next car ask them why it's not being chopped in.

I'm trying to get the 145 point inspection carried out by the Audi garage local to the seller

Just for closure I ended up having the 145 point inspection done at the sellers local Audi dealership, who also provided a collect and drop off service.

Glad I did because there were some wear and tear issues that needed rectifying and I was unwilling to foot the bill for the lot and the seller was unwilling to budge on price, so I've ended up buying something different.

Which rs was it?

Shame, did you go for another RS or another car?

I've just put a deposit on a TTRS and not even seen it yet :$
