For a car.. who does the best pre purchase vehicle inspections?
My brother is buying a car.. (this one : http://www.carjam.co.nz/car/?plate=ETQ148&search=Check )
And I don't want to see him screwed over. I went over it pretty well tonight - but I'm no mechanic. I found a few things (spot of rust here, this panel has been repainted there, etc) but really have no idea when it comes to mechanics. I noticed the coolant was filled to well above the Maximum line.. perhaps its leaking and hes trying to hide it?
I've used the AA before but I think they are a bit crap.. anyone got any other suggestions?
