Looking for someone with sound proven mechanical knowledge to have a look at & test drive a 1990 5.0ltr auto VN commodore in Coffs Harbour. Car is high mileage (350000). I need to know how it runs (no lifter tick, rough idling etc), how the transmission feels shifting through & also into reverse & critically if it has any rust, particularly around the windscreen, back window, bottom of the doors, wheel arches, boot corners, spare wheel well, & battery tray. Also if there's any other 'red flags' as far as roadworthiness goes.

I want a prepurchase car inspection

$100

Marrickville, New South Wales

26th Jan 2026

I am a student looking to purchase my first car. I have found a listing on Gumtree for a Toyota Echo 2003 and have heard these are reliable and cost efficient cars. I wanted to get an inspection to ensure that the car is in good shape and nothing is wrong with it. I am still waiting for the seller to give me the address but he said he was fine with an inspection when I asked him. We discussed and agreed to meet around 5:30PM tomorrow. I just wanted to know the processes and if I would come and greet you with the seller and wait for you to complete the inspection. Please let me know how it all goes down as I am new to everything.

Nicolas was very kind and friendly. He helped me understand if there were any issues and ensured that both me and the seller were communicated with. He was prompt and accurate with his information! Plus he was very affordable.
