Just watched your pre/post purchase inspection video with regards to the manual DBS. Would a jump start direct from the battery and subsequent replacement explain any of the electrical faults?
Wouldn’t the plugs and coils be considered a wear item? Here in The States a warranty wouldn’t cover those. I guess the assumption is the dealer would automatically replace those before listing? I still think a “pre-purchase” inspection is a good idea because it gives you more leverage to negotiate a purchase. I’d say 90% of people will be able to negotiate a discount higher than any inspection fees.
Your comments are turned off on your latest video, but that diff noise your recorded would have sent me to the luny bin !!!! Awful noise, great video, does this diff noise appear in the ZF auto cars ?
Hey Mike, enjoy yr videos. When (what time and day is best suitable) can I reach anyone working at yr shop when using the numbers on yr website? It seems that the phones remain to be unmanned? Looking forward to your response.
I love these kind of videos, all about purchasing. Often when I check auto trader or other auto selling websites, I come across Astons with low millage but a lot of owners i.e 50k and has four or five previous owners, Is this something alarming? especially when it comes to Rapide.
I replaced the 12 volt battery on my 2006 DB9 24,000 miles, the car being without power for at least a week and therefore, I assume, loosing the misfire data. I understood from my Franchise dealer that there was no need to perform the misfire correction factor process as the car would relearn these after a short amount of normal use. TH-camr Aston1936 has a video th-cam.com/video/9Vjaocq7-EM/w-d-xo.html where he shows how this can be done with a specific driving technique. Is the Franchise dealer correct or should I do this as Aston1936 describes?
I've always found it amusing how much weight people looking at cars give to the amount of tread left on the tyres. Seriously? It's hardly going to be a deal breaker if you fine the car that fits what you want, but there's less rubber on them than you'd like! If thyre nearly dead, sure negotiate a hot price on a new set, but really, just get on and buy the thing!

Nice idea, wish I did Facebook... But I won't touch it
Great video Mike, how much is a post car inspection and i presume it’s the same as a pre inspection. Cheers
