Default Used vehicle qualified inspector

I just read a very elaborate and well written article by a fellow Porsche member on the 996 Turbo forum. The article was titled " Tips on buying a Turbo Car".

When you purchase an older home , usually it is standard that you get the home pre-inspected by a qualified inspector as conditional on your offer. Similarly, I am wondering if there are companies or individuals that will inspect a used vehicle for you prior to purchase. Someome, of course, qualified for that type of vehicle.

Just wondering..........after all these are not pinto's we are buying here. They are very mechanically complicated and expensive vehicles. Independent inspectors, other then Porsche dealers, would certainly help.

Cheers and safe driving.

I'm assuming Rich .......when you say Porsche specialist you mean Porsche dealership who employ Porsche specialists? If not can you recommend anyone?
