pi_r_2 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 Hi, In my search for a gen6 vert I look at the RHDs in UK and I ask myself a question, who should I have the car inspected by before purchasing so that I don't have to travel for nothing? I saw that there were several organizations offering this service (RAC, The AA, CarExaminer,...), do you have one to recommend? For information I contacted RAC, they are asking me £498 for an inspection which seems a little excessive to me. PS: for those who don't know, I'm French and traveling to the United Kingdom takes me time and money, so I hope I only have to travel the day I find that rare gem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 The AA charge from £191 for "vehicles of any age". https://www.theaa.com/vehicle-inspection/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi_r_2 Posted January 11 Author Report Share Posted January 11 "from" makes a big difference, RAC is "from" £209 but £498 in reality.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 where is the car - maybe see if a local member can take a look before you pay for a proper inspection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi_r_2 Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 The car is in Peacehaven, East Sussex. Your idea is good Amit but I don't want to bother anyone about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Red Celica Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Many of us have done it for other members before. it would only take 20/30 mins for a look around to see if it was worth further inspection. IF it was closer I would go and see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheltGirl Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I wonder how far away @arizona would be from it? She also has a Gen 6 vert so will know what she is looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
