Buying A Stagea, I Need Someone To Go Over It For Me.....

[patrickd79]

Hi all. I'm looking at buying a '99' RS4 S manual. I need someone to go over the car for me and do a thorough check of the car for me. I'm no mechanic and my guy is what you would call a 'garden variety' mechanic. Taking it to him will be a waste of time and money.

So I need you guys to recommend someone. I live on the Gold Coast. So to the members that live on the Goldy, is there someone you recommend? Someone that knows these cars very well indeed and knows what to check and what to look for. Someone you guys respect and trust with your Stagea.

On that note, it doesnt have to be a mechaic with workshop etc. If one of the members knows their stuff and is happy to do it, then thats ok too.

Naturally their will be financial compensation for the individuals time and expertise.

Thanks in advance.

Can recommend a couple of Gold Coasters: have PM'd you the best option already.

Also, not knowing how much info you have on C34s; make sure you check very carefully for rust under the side mirrors: if there is any evidence of bubbling on the outside doorskin, you can safely assume that the affected section inside the door is significantly larger. That said, all Stageas rust there, so it's probably not worth discounting the car as an option if there is rust, just be prepared to fix it/have it repaired.

Good luck with the purchase!
