Out of town purchase
Quick question! I am looking at a ‘16 GSF that is about 12 hours from me. Has anyone ever used an inspection service to go out and inspect a vehicle before making an out of town putchase? The dealer has had this car for sale about 4 months so I just want to make sure there is nothing crazy going on. Thanks!!

Yes it’s in Baton Rouge, LA listed on Autotrader. It’s a 2016 model with 30k miles. They seemed to have taken some pretty good pictures but would just like to be certain nothing fishy is going on.

I did the same thing; i.e. purchased out of state with a PPI performed by myusedcarbuddy.com.
They provided a comprehensive report inclusive of: reporting undisclosed frame and body damage and quality of repair, a test drive, multiple high resolution pictures of all body panels with attention to chips, dents, etc., tires, brakes, under hood fluid check, present or stored engine codes, etc. Very pleased with the detail and reporting of the inspection and they completed it within 24 hours of request.
I'm fairly particular and, after having the car shipped then washed and waxed< i found absolutely nothing that the report didn't highlight. Then again - it always comes down to the individual inspector.
Good luck!
