Used car pre-purchase inspection

Melbourne VIC, Australia

24th Feb 2025

I require assistance finding a good used car and performing a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. I don't drive much (~5,000 km per year) and am looking for a car known for its reliability, as my previous purchase was a lemon from the beginning. My preferred options are sedans such as the Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla, or Honda Civic. I am open to suggestions regarding the car's make, model, year, mileage, and hearing options for the best car based on my usage. Budget for the used car: $10k - $15k Services Required: - Sourcing a Used Car - preferably from a private party, as I feel dealerships often lack knowledge of the car's history and are overpriced compared to private sellers. Also, dealerships are professional second-hand car salespeople, literally. - Pre-Purchase Checks and Inspections - Please provide a comprehensive list of checks you do, including initial contact with the seller to ask essential questions, followed by a thorough on-site inspection of the car. Please provide if the fees for the different reports to order are included (PPSR, Car History, VicRoads reports, etc.). - Assistance in negotiating the price with the seller

Rajender went above and beyond. Highly recommend him for his expertise

I need a HZ Holden visually inspected for excess rust (there is some present obviously, just want to know how bad) and since it's unlicensed, just have the car started and idled for a while to check for leaks, overheating, anything obviously wrong.

Managed to make a call to organise viewing of the car within minutes and perform the inspection within an hour of job confirmation. Can't ask for much better than that.

Hey fellows, This is last minute as I need an experienced pre purchase inspector to help me buy a car. The only time available from the seller is tomorrow 11 :30 am at officer. Let me know if anyone can help me do this pre purchase inspection. Thanks in advance.

I hired Adam to inspect a car which I wanted to buy, he was prompt and punctual, he organise a time with the seller and did the inspection. Called me to inform the good things and issues with the car . Even though I didn’t ended buying the car because of the dodgy seller, I was happy with Adam’s service and will hire him again if I ever need a pre purchase inspection done on a used car.
