2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor — need advice: Good independent shop for a pre-purchase inspection?

ColdStartRunner56Community StarterFeb 5, 20262024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual MotorSeattle
2024 Polestar 2 Long Range Dual Motor, about 62,000 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? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

I would not stare at the monthly. If one piece looks too good on the 2024 Polestar 2, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Was this after sitting overnight? I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Yes, with one caveat: A written buyer’s order on the 2024 Polestar 2 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” Do that before you talk monthly again. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. I'll post OTD once I have two apples-to-apples sheets.

OP here. Still looking, but I'm waiting on inspection notes before I send money on the 2024 Polestar 2. Going to compare one more dealer before I decide.

Insurance and tax belong in the comparison, not as a surprise. Ask for out-the-door on the 2024 Polestar 2 with fees, add-ons, and rate on separate lines. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. On “need advice: good independent shop for a,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Not gospel, but it saved me a headache. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. If GAP is bundled I'm making them unbundle it.

PPI is scheduled. I'm not depositing until I see the 2024 Polestar 2 notes. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

I'd want competing paper, not competing stories. A written buyer’s order on the 2024 Polestar 2 is worth more than any verbal “we’ll make it work.” I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. This is from a 2024 Polestar 2 in Seattle with 62,000 miles. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. I'd rather be boring and correct. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I'd slow the salesperson down here. If one piece looks too good on the 2024 Polestar 2, hunt doc fees, accessories, and the APR next. That's the part that actually changes the decision. Just my two cents from doing this recently. Make the next action something you can finish this week. If the story changes I'll post the new data.
