I'm looking at possibly purchasing a car, unfortunatley it's in Edmonton. Everything on the car sounds and looks great from what I have seen through pictures and talking to the guy. It's a 2004 Impala SS with about 56,000km on it.

I have done a carfax and it hasn't been in any accidents or anything like that according to them.

The fellow says he bought it from a dealer and they did a full inspection on it when they bought it and it seemed fine to them. According to carfax, the car was sold to the dealer March 2007. So this guy has had the car for less than 10,000km.

I would have a tough time laying down the cash before I get it checked out myself though. it would just make me feel a lot better.

So does anyone know of a shop in Edmonton that will take the car in this weekend to do a quick inspection on the car to make sure everything is tip top and i'm not buying a lemon?

It would be a lot easier if this car were located in Calgary, but it's not. Thanks a lot for any advice.
