FAQ
Pre-Purchase Inspection FAQs
Standard passenger vehicles (sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs) start from $299. 4WDs, utes and vans start from $330. Your exact price is confirmed when you book, before any commitment.
A pink slip is a mandatory TfNSW roadworthiness check needed to register a vehicle. A pre-purchase inspection is a voluntary, independent mechanical check before you buy — covering things a pink slip doesn’t, like engine, transmission and suspension condition.
A seller or dealer generally can’t refuse a pre-purchase inspection if you make it a condition of the sale. If they do refuse, that’s often worth taking as a warning sign itself.
No. We can inspect the vehicle without you present and call you afterward to walk through the findings.
Yes — 4WDs and utes are covered under our 4WD pricing, and we also offer dedicated inspections for electric vehicles.
