Yeah this sounds a good idea!
Would certainly do it for anyone that needed a car looking at Near Lanarkshire Scotland. Anyone in bristol, that could look at a ZT-T? Stephen

only to see as I pulled up a dent in the bumper knew right away I would not be buying it, but looked it over. to find it needed a new engine banging from bottem end. new wing and bumper and the inside need a good clean. would be happy to look over any car near me (Hertfordshire) for a member |

I travelled 150 miles to buy mine and upon my request the guy sent me loads close up photos of paintwork, under bonnet, under boot, interior, dash, controls, wheels & tyres + he also sent me photos of all documentation including V5, current and previous MOT's, service book including every single stamp. I also asked for copy of HPI clear document which he took photo of and emailed.
Didn't start to discuss price until i got all those. So there quite a bit of spade work you can do before you travel a long way to take a look It might seem like you're causing a lot a trouble, but you're spending lot of money and if they cant/wont be bothered I'd leave it

I think this is already being done by the members, in fact some people, one of whom was 3discos I think, not only checked a car out but got it back on the road again.. I seem to recall it was a gift car?
And I remember Scribbler checked a car out for someone not long ago? And when I was car hunting I had lots of very nice offers regarding looking at cars for me mainly from the Yorkie lads. . ... |

I just bought a car in Derby and that took two visits so if I had known the club had a list of 'helper checkers' I'd have consulted it first and it might have saved £100 and a working day. (As it was the car was worth it, happily ) Cheers Gary

Oh, and just in case anyone who has already replied to this thread is wondering why their name isn't on the list, I've only actually included those members who have actually stated they would be willing to view a car for another. Again, I can easily update the list if need be. I won't make it a sticky for the time being, lets see how big the list gets, then we can review it. There is always a danger that with too many threads being stuck, it takes members forever to scroll down to a fresh subject. |

Now my request! I am considering a car in Sutton in Ashfield, Notts, which looks good, even if a bit overpriced. If anyone can take a look I would be grateful. |
