I think the report was an excellent quality and Klavs pointed out that the rear adaptive shock was leaking. I obtained a quote for £1800 so went back to the seller to ask for £500 off the car towards the cost. He refused stating that Klavs stated that it was the best Z4 he had inspected. I'm sure that's not the case however as the person who paid of the report, I would have expected no comments to the seller to protect my position. I am building surveyor myself and never discuss my finding with the sellers as my client might want to negotiate. The reason I am mentioning it is that it will make me consider fi the strict policy that the RAC follow would have bene better for my position. I am not buying the car so whilst the inspection has protected me from expenditure, it might have cost me the negotiation.

Thank you again Klavs. We really appreciate your honesty and we feel so much more at ease when you give us your opinion. Sadly this garage didn’t get this car ready for purchase and luckily you saved us again from a buying a car not ready for our daughter.

I recently used CarExamer for two separate car inspections, each lasting around two hours, resulting in very detailed and comprehensive reports. As I was unable to physically view the cars myself, these inspections were absolutely essential for making an informed decision. Not only did the inspector, Klavs, provide detailed evaluations of both vehicles, but his additional insights into the sellers themselves proved invaluable. His professional yet personable approach made it easy and enjoyable to discuss the results directly. Thanks to Klavs and the thorough reports provided, I confidently purchased the second car. I highly recommend CarExamer, especially if you can't be there in person or need reliable expertise on vehicle conditions. I would use carexamers again and Klavs without hesitation. 10/10.
