I thought comp test tells u which piston is broken if one cylinder pressure is significantly lower than others. If two adjecent cylinders are low, MAYBE head gasket leak.

Leak down test tells exactly where is the leak. But if all cyljnders are worn, it would be less effective?

Went and got a new purchase on condition of one or two things

Not bad at all, id haggle after getting it inspected

What would be a ball park figure to be getting it for seems we have to factor in its a dealership sale.

Its actually the first one I seen and no other ones compared to it. Have been looking the last few weeks.

It has like brand new coils, full service history and 95k on the clock on it and is in great condition as far as I can see.

One of the conditions is a good pre inspection with a compression test etc.
Will be taking out a 3 year warranty with it as well just in case and peace of mind.

Would I bother with the pre inspection seems i have the standard warranty from them and will be taking out the extended one as well

3 year warranty not worth the paper it's written on.....

Really, How so?

Basically they will try to get out of repairing under warranty by any means necessary. Its written in such a way that they have an out for the majority of problems. Its a lot of money that you can spend on other things.

Yeah. I see where your coming from, suppose you can say the same about any motor related company like insurance etc.

Will have to look I to it and see what the story it with it.

This car was for sale on here a few years back
