Pre-purchase inspection?

[matpp]

Hello all,

Just joined this forum recently as I wish to purchase an NSX......I've spent a long time trawling the forum for information and have already gleaned a lot thanks to you guys
I've now found an NSX I wish to purchase and as I live in the French Pyrenees, asked KAZ if he could undertake a pre-purchase inspection but as he only works on a friend/private basis, he suggested I post this request so that someone may be able to assist me.

Is anyone who lives down south with the technical know-how able and willing?......please pm me for further info.

Hi Matpp

If you could be a little more precise than "down south" that would help, as you could mean Lands end, Dover or anywhere in between

[matpp]

You're right, especially with all the traffic jams in the UK!.....I forget. Is West Sussex precise enough?

You may actually get some info on the car if you posted the details on the forum! Or maybe you want to keep it to yourself in case someone jumps in a buys it lol

Astute Sudesh! The car's already been mentioned on the forum recently, all saying it appears reasonable value. Are you in the area and available Saturday?

[WhyOne?]

I live in West Sussex and whilst no mechanical expert (something of an understatement) I do have a reasonable eye for detail and would be willing to take a look at the car for you.

It is possible I could persuade Simon (NSXCB), who is rather more mechanically minded, to come along with me - whereabouts in W. Sussex is the car?

I am tied up this Saturday, but Sunday am is a possible.

I guess it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, all I / we could do is report back on the car based on looking, listening and hopefully travelling in it - there could be absolutely no guarantee that the car is 100% (or even 50%!!) based on a casual inspection such as this.

[NSXGB]

Yeah, I'm happy to help if I can...

[Senninha]

Other options would be an AA/RAC inspection or see if the current owner would take it along to PLans Motorsport who do a know a bit about NSX's ....

I would however be happy for Ian & Simon to report on an NSX given their combined knowledge and eye for detail.

Good Luck. I presume the NSX will be leaving UK soil if all goes well at the weekend?

regards, Paul

Hi

I'm based in N.I so not just as handy lol

But I have been to the UK inspecting various cars before. Last NSX was the one Andrew bought.

One problem with doing a decent inspection is, how far the current owner/dealer will let you poke around at! Also access to a lift is always a bonus and the amout of time needed.

If the seller was pointed towards this site to show a genuine train of thought and the interested buyer was willing to pay for the inspection, wouldn't Ian's relationship with his Honda dealer create the chance for an inspection on the ramps? Not trying to rope you in Ian, just a suggestion of sorts!! I think if I was looking now then the red one would be the car of choice in that age group...
