Buying car in Northern Ireland and need to arrange inspection

Grainne17 · 2017-07-20 08:19:46

Hi guys, I'm hoping to buy a car in Ballymoney but I want to have the car checked before buying it. I've been onto the AA and RAC and they say they don't to them in Northern Ireland. Can anybody help, I've fallen in love with the car but want to make sure I get it fully checked before buying.

What make is it? Why not ring a local dealer in that area handling the brand and ask would they do an assessment for you? Also get a HPI check done.

You could also check out a local Indy or similar like above and arrange a check and sort out with seller.

Go up on inspection day have money and buy if checks out.

Hi it's a Vauxhall Insignia. I went back through old threads and got Gareth Gillispies Name, he's an independent motor assessor so I've spoken with him. I did the HPI check yesterday and all it okay with that.
