Pre purchase inspection

Good afternoon to all, and thank you to those who contributed in my other thread, helping me decide to take the plunge.

I found am L322 supercharger with 106,000 miles in London and I'm trying to understand if a RAC inspection before purchase is sufficient or if it is recommended to have the Range Rover inspected by a model/marque specialist.

This supercharger is being sold at £4,450 and, according to the dealership, is free of any faults... but I bet much doubt that!

Evening! I'm afraid I can't help answer your question but in a similar vein I was wondering if there was an "accredited" list of inspectors on this forum? If there isn't, IMHO this would be a great idea.

I’d say a good look over from yourself, plus checking through service history and previous MOTs (for advisories) would be sufficient.
Also be sure to do an online vehicle check to ensure there is no outstanding finance etc.
Buying from a dealer it should have been serviced and have some sort of 3-6 month warranty, should any nasty surprised crop up.

At £4,450 keep expectations realistic 👍🏻

If you are buying from a dealer you have protection for 30 days under the sale of goods act so if there is any serious defect or fail you have the right to return it for them to rectify the fault or get your money back so the best advice is to book it into a good indy for a full inspection soon after purchase. As Greg says you have to manage your expectations if you are paying that little for it. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

I would go for the RAC inspection, or better still, get an immediate inspection by a good LR independent, then go straight back to the supplier and demand they fix any faults which they said didn’t exist?
With only 30 days, you’ll need to be quick off the mark and pre-book the inspection. Thumbs Up “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?
