Wondering if anyone can recommend a company that could inspect a car for me.
Its a Fairlane and I want to make sure that its matching numbers and everything is where it should be and matches the description given by the seller. Happy to pay a good price but I dont need a deluxe 20 page report, just the basics and what a visual on the paint and panel is like. Id like to do this before traveling interstate to get it and putting a deposit down. Many thanks. Last edited by Polyal; 19-09-2011 at 07:50 PM. |

A good bet would be to get in contact with the local GT Club. There will be similar things to look for on a Fairlane as there would be to a Falcon GT in regards to Numbers and components. Ask if one of their Club Members has a Workshop and does Car Inspections. Your chances would be pretty good. Don't forget to offer compensation for their time.
I had one of the Members of the Queensland GT Club inspect a BA GT for me and they were more than willing to help out. We spent nearly 2 hours going over the Car on a hoist and had a good chat. Helps that I also knew the guy too. Just remember to come across as genuine and not a Time Waster. Let us know how you go Allan.

I am not part of any car clubs (yet) other than the wonderful world of AFF, so unfortunately I dont have any contacts in NSW that know much about cars.
If anyone has any email addresses of people in that area that might be able to help a PM would be great, I will absolutely repay them for their time, money or liquid, whatever they choose. Id probably say hello to the person on picking up the car (unless I transport it back). Thanks for the tip. Has anyone had any experience with either of these guys? http://www.vipinspections.com/onsite.html http://www.uniquecarsandparts.com.au...ting.php?id=14 |
