Independent Pre-Purchase Inspection - 458 Italia [UK]

[nate-dogg]

Hi, I'm looking at purchasing a 458, but would like some peace of mind from an independent pre-purchase inspection. Can anyone recommend a company/individual in the UK who can do this? Car is located near Stoke-on-Trent, would like somebody who can travel to the car and inspect, rather than the car being brought to them.

Thanks in advance!

Walkersport or Mark at morethanpolish might be worth a shout BUT a 458 inspection should surely include a printout from the service computer to be sure of all the parameters

[nate-dogg]

Thank you, I'll get in touch with them!

Absolutely this. I bought mine privately, had a PPI at Stratstone and was very pleased with their attention to detail.

Shiltech are based in Loughborough and I rate them for PPI work.

Another vote for Jane and Stuart at Shiltech, great people.

Thanks all. Been in touch with Shiltec actually, but they haven't got availability until 10th August.

give the VIN to a Ferrari dealer and they can list all the parts ordered against it historically

Yea bulletproof that..... except for the guy that prangs his 458 so goes on autotrader to find a similar car,HPI's it to get the VIN number and HAY PRESTO.....

But in reality the vast majority of modern accident damaged Ferrari's get repaired by Ferrari dealers, who order the parts themselves against the car's VIN

Ferrari is pretty unique in keeping a record of this
