Need a 335d PPI/safety in Oshawa, Ontario

FFWD · 01-18-2018, 09:15 AM

Posting this here because I assume the diesel is a bit of a different animal. I'm looking get a pre-purchase inspection for a 335d but the seller doesn't want to take it over an hour away to RMP, and I don't blame him. Can anyone recommend a place closer to Oshawa that knows these cars well? Or how is Endras? I've lost faith in the dealers based on my past experience (since 1999), but then again, it's just a PPI and maybe a safety?

Details on the car? Got the VIN? I can get a Carfax run for you.

I already have that, and I also did a full scan for all codes using BMW software. What I really need is the physical inspection to confirm it needs nothing to pass safety, and that there are no leaks or anything broken that would mean a big job like rear main seal or head gasket.

Take it to your closest BMW dealer and be done with it. Buying a used car is always a little bit of a gamble.
