Pre purchase check

If you are thinking about buying a European car, new or used, that can be a good decision
But there are some really important things to consider before you do so.
It is hard to give the right advise for a particular brand because there are different issues on different brands

Just some basic rules

If you buy an European car for the first time inform your self which brand and model suits your needs
Inform yourself in relevant media or from people who are not involved in the sale
The internet is a very good tool for information see under LINKS for web addresses
Make sure the car you want to buy got as much history as possible (only verifiable info and in writing) pre owner would be good
Buying from a private owner gives you more information about the car, important is the reason for selling, repair invoices, lots of info saves you from losing money later and gives you a good picture about the seller
Buying of dealer you got warranty and some other protections, but you should deal with someone who  knows his business, the dealer should be a dealership selling the brand you want to buy new as well. or should be a qualified mechanic on the brand you want to buy (at least those guys know what to buy in the first place) less possibility to buy a lemon
Most important above all other things get the vehicle checked out buy an European master technician who has got access to all computer equipment and tools necessary, normal pre buy inspections of other institutions are excellent, but worthless on European cars
Our pre purchase inspections are free (for late model cars )(conditions apply)
Make sure you get an written report including printout on your engine management system and all other computer
 
If you would like more information or advice please give us a call or mail us it’s free
To many customer had to spend lots on money on recently acquired cars because they did not have them checked out. 
DON’T  MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE
 
To be continued
