Hi
I am looking at purchasing one of two Merc C-Class coupes, both are NZ new,
one 2012 62000km, other 2013 75000km both through Merc Dealers in South Island ( I'm in Napier & am unable to see befor purchase ).
My question is, should I get an AA pre purchase inspection? as they both already come as Mercedes-Benz Certified pre-owned vehicles with 2 year factory warranty included.

Hi there,
A PPI is designed to help inform you before you purchase especially as you can't see the vehicle- you don't want any surprises. An inspection will also help with negotiations before you hand the money over- I wouldn't recommend solely relying on the wof for an indication of vehicle condition. Napier has depot inspections, so the vehicle would need to be taken to the AA Autocentre for inspection.
