Default Buying a car, where to have it inspected.

Hi guys I've put an offer in on a nice 05 Sti, plenty of mods, drives well, body has a few dings & blemishes etc, but I'm more concerned that the mechanicals are what they are advertised as, so I'd like a Subaru specialist to give the car a thorough examination.

There are many threads on this. Use the search function, most will recommend places like stechnic, maximum Motorsport, and others.
Try the search function and find one close to you.
Hope all goes well in the purchase.

Did you read the Perth Workshops thread? It is stickied at the top of this very forum that you just posted in..

Any of the workshops in there will be fine, everyone has their favourite. Chances are one of them did the modifications to that actual car too. Post up a pic and I almost guarantee it has been owned by a forum member at some point and someone will recognise it.
