2021 Audi A6 Prestige — question: Good independent shop for a pre-purchase inspection?

V8Guy52Community StarterJun 18, 20262021 Audi A6 PrestigeTexas
2021 Audi A6 Prestige, about 48,000 miles. Looking at a used car locally and want a genuinely independent PPI, preferably someone familiar with this brand. What do you ask the shop to include besides a basic scan and lift inspection? Any data points from owners would help.

The trap is a pretty payment hiding a worse car price. If one piece looks too good on the 2021 Audi A6, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. Screenshot the worksheet if you can. Stop there until you know. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Treat this like a math problem, not a vibe. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2021 Audi A6 numbers without them. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. PPI guy I use is booked until next week, so I'm waiting.

Don't send a deposit on a phone quote. I would not wire money until I've seen the 2021 Audi A6 and the title situation in person or via a trusted PPI. Then the comparison gets honest. This is from a 2021 Audi A6 in Texas with 48,000 miles. Keep sale price, fees, and rate as three different conversations. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

Quick update: a second 2021 Audi A6 quote made the first offer look ordinary. I asked for the buyer’s order in email, not a text.
