Car sourcing
I find a car with no hidden problems and no overpaying. You pay a percentage, which means it's in my interest to bring the price down for you.
What's included
- 198-point inspection: bodywork, engine, transmission, suspension, electrics
- Paint thickness gauge on every panel — I see bodywork the eye can't
- Diagnostic scan: active and stored fault codes, readiness monitors
- Documents, VIN in every location, no outstanding finance, not stolen
- Service history request by VIN at the official dealer
- Photo and video report on every defect found — the files stay with you
- Test drive, negotiation and full deal support
What I check on a car
Body and paint gauge
Every panel measured: filler and respray the eye simply doesn't catch.
Engine and gearbox
Cold start, noise, leaks, how the auto or CVT behaves under load.
Suspension and steering
Play and knocks, shock condition, tyre wear across the edges.
Scanner and electronics
Active and stored fault codes, readiness monitor status, every system exercised.
Water damage
Silt in hidden cavities, corroded connectors, damp under the carpet and in the spare wheel well.
Paperwork
VIN in every location, dealer service history, road tax, finance and theft records.
How it works
Brief
Budget, body type, purpose. I'll tell you straight away what that budget really buys.
Shortlist
I filter out flood cars, ex-taxis and repaired write-offs by documents and photos.
Inspection
Full check with paint gauge and scanner, plus a photo report.
The deal
Negotiation, verification at the transport department, registration.
Guarantee
FAQ
Why a percentage and not a flat fee?
Because it aligns our interests: the lower the final price, the better for both of us. And a percentage is fairer across both budget cars and premium ones.
Do you inspect pickups and diesels?
Yes. They get their own section: ladder frame, glow plugs, turbo, injection system, four-wheel drive.
How do you detect flood damage?
Silt in hidden cavities, oxidised connectors, water marks under the carpet and in the spare wheel well, and the smell. That's what gets hidden most often.
