Pre Purchase Porsche Inspection - Braunton Engineering
Pre Purchase Car Inspection
Braunton Engineering offer pre purchase car inspection and post purchase inspection at the garage. The combination of model familiarity and the MOT testing discipline provide a comprehensive run down of the vehicle in question.
For mobile vehicle inspections we recommend Peter Morgan who is nationally recognised for thorough Porsche inspections and as a motoring journalist and author of a number of Porsche dedicated books which are outstanding for their information and knowledge of each model; Original Porsche 911 & Original Porsche 944. We have seen a number of Porsches previously inspected by Peter Morgan and concur that Peter is very thorough!
Certain models have their weaknesses and the secret of knowing what exactly to look for during a pre purchase car inspection is key to a Porsche specialist to scrutinise a car prior to committing to buy, or indeed after purchase to discover any issues for the near future/next few years and the likely expense.
The pre purchase car inspection service Braunton offer range from visual scrutiny; from one hour, two hours with a test drive, title documents and service history scrutiny, mechanical and cosmetic scrutiny through to major inspection with cylinder leak down test and cylinder compression testing - please enquire for an estimate.
The team at Braunton Engineering welcome calls regarding buying advice and can offer some insight into the highs and lows of buying a Porsche privately. For individual model weaknesses, expense areas, and what to look out for; please see the section of this website devoted to each model.
