    Just bought an Audi R8 - RAC inspection or other recommended?

    Have come out of a Ferrari F430 F1 and just paid a deposit on an Audi R8 this morning at an independent dealer. Would you guys recommend a RAC inspection or is there a better option I should consider?
    I'm West London based and the car has been bought from a dealer in Bournemouth.

    Hey mate,

    I bought mine from a well known super car dealer - but insisted on it being transported to the local R8 approved Audi centre for a full check over (then called the dealership direct to check on their findings). Not sure if that's better than an RAC inspection, but it made me feel better.

    Thanks for the comments, in the end I used RAC and luckily as the car has the Audi Extended Warranty we had to drop the car to the local Audi main dealer anyway for a quick once over and for some "recall" work. Car has been given the green light and I should be picking it up next week. Will post some pics soon.
