    chicago folks: pre-purchase inspection

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm planning on buying a 2004 B6 A4 USP via private party. Car is located in Chicago but I am in STL.

    I would like to get the car inspected by an independent mechanic (or should I have seller bring it to the dealership?). Does anybody have any recs?

    If seller is paying for it i say let the dealership deal with it.
    If u, then to independent mechanic (less $$$). We've got a lot of shop around here. Where is buyer located?

    typically buyer pays for inspection no? well I just sold my B6 and the buyer paid for it.

    anyways, let's assume I'm paying, seller is located in naperville.

    Oh, I know the seller takes his car to Continental Audi for service. I'll call them tomorrow. So sounds like the service dept is good? I was looking at the CPOed car listing online and man their prices are pretty steep.

    I'll call the GRD shop as well, this is it correct?
