    Mods I hope this is ok?

    I need help to view a car in Dublin 12.

    I live in Cork and have allready driven to Dublin only to be let down with what I saw:(, so I am hoping that someone with a trained eye can look at a potential purchase in D12.

    Please PM me if intrested and we can arrange something.

    It's from a dealer is it?
    Anyway, let a local mechanic go over it. This shouldn't be an issue with the dealer and for that kind of money it is good to have a pro check it out.

    That said, car is fairly new and would come with warranty of some sort.

    Its from a dealer (though not a main one) and I have got the a cartel check done on it.
    All I need really is for someone to give it a visual and maybe a 15-20 min test drive and see if any problems occur.
    If they give me the thumbs up I will feel more comfortable on taking a day of work and driving to view it etc and use my own judgment on it then.

    Jeju, I would definetly want that car up on a ramp and a diagnostic etc run on it, I certainly wouldnt be taking any risks with a 25k car...

    The AA has inspections. It's not cheap but it will help put your mind at ease.

    Check on their website for cost.

    Yeah for 2.5k fine ask a mate but for 25k I'd want a serious inspection and a written record of it.
