Hey guys...Im driving up from Vancouver,BC tomorrow to Seattle area to look at a 06 Roadster with 74K miles...(Salvage title) anyways..if I like it i want to get a pre inspection done....can anyone help me with this?

Any help would be awesome..if someone can let me know about a shop or a mobile inspection person...i would appreciate it.

And cost as well

Manny

 

I don't recall the cost but take the car over to VTR in Everett. they've been working on my cars for a decade now, they really know their $hit.

425-267-9797 / http://vtrperformance.com/Everett-Buyer-Inspection.html

they are certified and they will tell you about every little thing they can find about the car.

 

Thanks I called them unfortuantely because of labour day weekend they are closed for 3 days.

 

ahhh you might run into that with most businesses this weekend.

 

Any cerified mechanics out there that could meet in Bothell or Everett tomorrow?I am willing to pay a fee for the time and gas money.

I kind of just want someone to do a one over on the car as I am not very mechanically gifted

sweet. I love hearing about people spending 100$ on a pre-purchase inspection and saving themselves a hell of a headache. so many people skip this vital step when purchasing used vehicles!
