We have all been there, thinking about which make and model to buy, what engine size, what year and how much is going to cost car Insurance per year. When you finally chose the best car that will suit you it's time to see it and buy it. Simple isn't it? Not really...
Our customer spoke with the seller and was told the usual phrases: " Selling the car because getting company car". "I'm a mechanic myself and the car has been very well looked after." He was ready to buy it and at the last minute he made a booking on our website www.carexperts.ie for a pre-purchase car inspection and it was the right thing to do.
What we found out during the pre-purchase car inspection: Seller is not the owner of the car (Reseller). Write off Category D in 2017 and Write off Category C in 2020. On Donedeal it was verified as not written - off
