Hello, I am interested in buying a car from a yard and I have mentioned I will be purchasing an AA Appraisal Report prior to purchasing. They have come back saying they are getting a number of their cars being AA checked and they can add mine to the list and provide me with a report. Is this legit? Is there some way I can check on the report that an independent AA person has done this? Just concerned its too good to be true! Thanks

Hi there,
Yes we do have AA Appraised dealers, of which our inspectors visit their sites almost daily to carryout inspections.
However an Appraisal is a dealer-only inspection and not enough for you to buy a vehicle based on this one page report.
A 7-page AA Pre-Purchase inspection is designed for vehicle buyers. https://www.aa.co.nz/cars/buying-a-car/car-buying-guide/pre-purchase-vehicle-inspections/
