Advice/Help Buying a Secondhand Car, plz

[Lazy Cow]

Well, it's finally time to look at cars for our prospective P plater but it's harder than it looks. Seems like the RAA can be booked a week in advance - and I want the car checked out asap! (by 'I' I mean the kid lol!)

 

So, could anyone please give me some advice when buying from a private seller? Does anyone have a trusted mechanic round the Campbelltown area that might be up for checking out a car for me, please. Obviously we'd pay!

 

Okay, that's about it. The last car we bought from a private seller was a few years ago and as they were off here and seemed nice, we just trusted them...but this time it will be a random and I'm worried!

 

Thank you very, very much

most garages will do a exam for you around $100

Thanks for that, Stevo.

 

Stupid as this will sound - and I realise it does! - I honestly never thought of just taking it to a garage lol!
