Classic car inspection before purchase
Do you want to buy a classic car with confidence, without unexpected costs or hidden flaws? Have your dream car undergo a classic car inspection before purchase. At Heritage Cars, we offer a specialized Pre-Purchase Inspection for classic cars, so you know exactly what you are buying.
Why Get a Classic Car Inspection Before Purchase?
A classic car is not a standard vehicle: every component, weld, and layer of paint may hold both history and risk. Without a proper inspection, wear, rust, structural damage, or hidden repairs can end up costing you dearly.
With an independent classic car inspection before purchase, you will learn:
- which technical and visual defects are present
- what costs you can expect in the short and medium term
- whether the condition matches the asking price
- whether the car is safe and reliable to drive
In short: you buy with certainty instead of relying on hope.
What a Classic Car Inspection Before Purchase Includes
At Heritage Cars Delft, we carry out a thorough check, based on many years of experience with classic cars. Our inspection covers, among other things:
- Bodywork, welds, and structural integrity
- Engine, gearbox, and drivetrain
- Brakes, suspension, and steering components
- Interior, upholstery, dashboard, and accessories
- Electrical systems, gauges, switches, and extras
- Documentation, history, maintenance records, and prior restorations
- Optional extras: photo report, cost estimate, and valuation
After your classic car inspection before purchase, you will receive a clear report, detailing all findings, potential issues, and advice. If you wish, we’ll go through the report with you personally.
Cost of Classic Car Inspection Before Purchase
The base price for a classic car inspection before purchase is € 750,- excluding VAT and excluding travel and potential lodging costs.
Given the risks involved in buying a classic car—ranging from hidden damage to missing documentation—this investment is often more than worthwhile. You could avoid thousands of euros in surprises and be stronger in negotiations.
