Fiat inspection in Dublin

Just hoping someone can help me solve a logistical problem- I'm in Cork and I've seen a Fiat Bravo for sale on DoneDeal in South Dublin. It looks and sounds exactly like what I've been looking for but it's a private sale and I can't get up to see it before the weekend.

Any ideas or recommendations on how I could have it inspected?

Bit pricey, but are the AA inspections any good?

Cheers. I don't know if I'd be prepared to pay €199 (as far as I can see from the website) to inspect a car I might walk away from. Jaysus I couldn't imagine anyone paying that much tbh

I'm going to change my question slightly: since it's nearly the weekend anyway, can anyone recommend a garage in the South Dublin area that might be open on Saturday?

Is it cheeky to ask a main dealer to inspect a car you've bought privately?

The car I have in mind is pretty low mileage but no service history- it drives and looks like a low mileage car but I want the car to be given a mechanical inspection as well as verify the VIN/ reg# and verify the mileage.

The AA inspection won't do a diagnostics check so you'd need to get someone else to check for fault codes.
