2024 Audi Q5 — seller will not allow a pre-purchase inspection

CleanTuner296Community StarterJul 5, 20262024 Audi Q5 Premium PlusNorth Jersey
2024 Audi Q5 Premium Plus, about 8,500 miles. Car looks clean and the price is fair, but seller says they do not have time for a PPI because other buyers are interested. Would you treat that as an automatic walk-away?

Title status is the whole conversation. Independent PPI on the 2024 Audi Q5 is cheap insurance versus a seller who “already had a friend look at it.” That's where I'd start. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. Sleeping on the number either way.

Don't get cute with the meetup or the payment. Bill of sale, VIN, odometer, and names matching the title — I'd want all four on the 2024 Audi Q5. That's where I'd start. This is from a 2024 Audi Q5 in North Jersey with 8,500 miles. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. Calling insurance in the morning before I reply to the desk.
