Pre purchase inspection needed Thursday at 10 am for a 2017 Toyota Camry Altise with 130000 km at a dealer in medindie. The car has been sitting unused for about 2 months so please check carefully. Please do a cold start and OBD scan for stored and pending codes, a battery and alternator test, and check engine oil, coolant and transmission fluid condition plus any leaks, belts, hoses and engine mounts. Inspect the brakes including pads, discs and calipers sticking from sitting, plus brake fluid and handbrake. Check tyres for tread, age, cracks and flat spots, and the spare. On a hoist or jack please check suspension, steering, wheel bearings and CV boots. Look for rust on the sills, door bottoms, wheel arches, underbody and around the door handles, and any signs of accident repair or flood damage. Test all electrics, lights, windows, locks, both keys, air con, heater and reversing camera. Do a test drive of at least 20 minutes including highway, checking shifting, braking, steering and noises, then recheck for leaks and codes. Please provide a written report with photos, repairs needed now and within 12 months with rough costs, and your honest opinion on buying it. Budget is around 120 dollars but I am happy to pay more for a thorough job. Thanks

I’m looking to purchase a used Mazda 2 2007and would like a qualified, experienced mechanic to carry out a thorough pre-purchase inspection before I decide whether to buy it.

Must be a qualified/professional mechanic with experience doing pre-purchase inspections. Please only offer if you can travel to the seller’s location of choice which is at a shop.

Buying a second-hand car on CarSales and want a mechanic or revhead to come take a look with me. 2016 Subaru Outback, I'm keen on the car but just want a second opinion as it hasn't been serviced since September last year. Seller seems legit but hasn't got a RWC for it as not necessary in SA. Don't need a really official report, just wanna know if you'd buy it. Especially because I'm hoping to buy it tomorrow and drive it to Melbourne on Sunday.

Highly recommend! Daniel was kind, honest, and went above and beyond for me. Would definitely use him again and recommend to anyone. Thanks Daniel 👍🏼
