Used car pre-purchase inspection

$400

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
