Exotic & Supercar Pre-Purchase Inspections
Our pre-purchase inspection goes far deeper than a checklist and a test drive — advanced diagnostics down to electronically verifying the VIN and mileage, so nothing changed or altered slips past you. The most expensive car mistake is buying the wrong one; a proper PPI costs a fraction of what it prevents. Buyers ship cars here from across the Northeast, and drive them up from Bedford, Armonk, and Chappaqua — because a purchase this size deserves a second opinion this deep.
A test drive tells you nothing. This tells you everything.
Sellers detail cars to hide problems. We look where the detailing can't reach — and put it all in writing before you wire a dollar.
- Factory-level diagnostic scan of every control module — stored faults, readiness monitors, and hidden history
- VIN verification — the VIN is stored electronically in multiple control units, not just stamped on the body; we cross-check them against the chassis and the title, so a cloned or re-tagged car reveals itself
- Mileage verification — modern cars record mileage in several modules beyond the cluster; we read and compare them all, so a rolled-back odometer can't hide
- Compression, leak-down, and borescope inspection on known-risk engines (M96/M97 Porsche bore scoring, e-gear clutch wear, and more)
- Fluid condition analysis — oil, coolant, brake, transmission — the early-warning system for neglect
- Suspension, brake, and tire measurements with remaining-life estimates
- Undercarriage, frame, and accident-evidence inspection
- Road test by a technician who knows what that platform should feel like
The car can't lie to our equipment
Titles get washed, clusters get swapped, odometers get rolled. Our advanced diagnostic technology goes underneath all of it: we electronically pull the VIN and the recorded mileage from the control units themselves and cross-check every one against the body, the cluster, and the paperwork. If anything was changed or altered — anywhere — the modules tell on it.
- Electronic VIN pulled from multiple modules and matched against chassis stampings and the title
- Stored mileage compared across control units — rollbacks and cluster swaps surface immediately
- Fault-code history and readiness states that reveal recently cleared codes before the sale
- Everything documented with photos in a written report you can negotiate with
Sleep well at night knowing you made a quality purchase with our advanced pre-purchase inspection service.
Prestige Performance Center · Hopewell Junction, NYBuilt for exotics. Available for every make and model.
The inspection was built around six- and seven-figure purchases — but the same equipment, the same process, and the same written report are available on any car you’re about to buy.
Exotics & Porsche
Bore scoring, IMS history, clutch life, lift systems — the five-figure surprises live here. We borescope and measure before you commit.
German Performance
M cars, AMG, RS — deferred maintenance on these compounds fast. We read the service history the seller didn't mention.
Daily Drivers & Trucks
Frame rust, flood evidence, transmission health, tow abuse. A $10k truck with a $4k problem isn't a $10k truck.
