RACQ Vehicle Inspections

It’s a fact: some people try to sell cars they know are defective. And most of the time, it’s impossible for the average buyer to pick up the problems.

Sure, the car may look great, but that shiny coat of paint and those polished wheels could be hiding some nasty, and costly, surprises.

But there’s an easy way to avoid expensive surprises. Just get an RACQ vehicle inspection done before you buy the car.

RACQ vehicle inspections are convenient, reliable and affordable. And because our vehicle inspectors are independent, you can be sure you’re getting the facts about the car you want to buy.

Vehicle inspection benefits

With an RACQ vehicle inspection, you can:

· Know exactly what you’re buying before you hand over your money
· Avoid expensive ‘surprises’ such as hidden rust or badly done accident repairs
· Negotiate repairs of faults before you take the car instead of relying on any warranty cover afterwards.
· Be in a stronger bargaining position if there are faults and you need to negotiate repairs,
· Avoid wasting lots of money trying to offload a mechanically unsound or unsafe vehicle just after you’ve bought it

What you need to know before buying a used car

· A Safety Certificate only covers the basics, a car with a Safety Certificate can still have big problems
· Paying for repairs after you’ve bought the car can be expensive, and what happens if you’ve got no money left to pay for them
· If the car’s been in an accident, the repairs could have been done very badly and cost lots more money to fix
· A warranty is not a substitute for a pre-purchase check. And some warranties may not cover all the problems the car has, leaving you even more out of pocket

Summary

Don’t spend your money buying someone else’s problem. Too many times we’ve seen car owners left with a big hole in their bank account because they’ve spent money on a car with lots of expensive problems.
