Question Any Subaru "Experts" up for getting paid for an inspection ???

There's a strong possibility that my plans for buying a Hawkeye WRX early next year will advance to within the next few weeks.

As I live in France I'm looking for a Subaru "expert/professional" who would be interested in going to see one (maybe two) cars for me and carrying out an "inspection" prior to me jumping on the plane to come and collect. I'm obviously happy to pay for this service and would rather it was a Subaru expert than an AA inspection for obvious reasons.

Most likely that the car(s) will be outer London (M25) area but will obviously confirm this once I've narrowed it down.

Anyone interested ?

We can discuss prices via PM

Been there done that - this one will be used more regularly as a "semi-company car" so looking for better MPG and comfort.

Maybe but at twice the price for the initial purchase I've ruled out having another STi.

So back to the reason for the post.....anyone know of a "expert" who may be interested in the work?

I spoke to Tim - sounds like a nice chap and obviously knows his scoobies.

Need to narrow down the search now and then give Tim a shout to check them over......Xmas is coming

Well done, and black is by far the best colour on a newage, looks classy too when you turn up at a clients place, as long as you don't put an ironing board on the back.

Tim comes highly recommended on here, by the guys in the know.

Yes it was the Black that swayed me - all my current cars are black so she'll fit in well. However living at the end of a 1km long "dirt" track is not the best idea when trying to keep black cars clean - at least it'll get that "instant rally look" lol

What's your definition of an "ironing board on the back" ? The standard WRX boot spoiler already looks like one IMHO - I may end up with a STi or Prodrive rear spoiler anyway, you never know.

Thanks again for the recommendation
