Pre-Sale Check in NSW for MkV GTI

[hotmercury]

Hi Guys,

I live in Perth but am looking at a MKV GTI in NSW.

In Perth we have the RAC who can check vehicles, but who would you recommend to perform a pre-sale check in NSW? Just the local version of RAC, or is there someone you would specifically recommend who has a great knowledge of VW?

If so, any ideas as to the cost of such a check..

Thanks in advance..

I went today to see the new GTI to Barloworld in Five Dock, and they told me that they are taking orders now, hope this helps

Cheers!

sorry guys, maybe i wasnt clear..

Im chasing the MK5 not MK6.. I would be pretty disappointed if I needed a presale check for a brand new car..

Hahaha ok, from what I've gathered (and being a QLDer), you want to get your car checked out before purchasing it?

The NSE equal to RAC/RACQ is the NRMA, so perhaps organise an inspection through them. All I can advise is that it's worth every cent. IIRC the full checkout of my car was close to $200, but it can save you heaps in the long run. I had the RACQ inspect my Mk4 and all they found wrong with it was the brake light bulb

Thanks All.

I really should have asked:

"Is there a local mechanic in NSW who is a SUPER GURU of all things VW who is better to perform a pre-sale check of a second hand vehicle?

Or should I simply use NRMA?"

I will get NRMA to check it out. Cheers.

I think NRMA will be pretty good, there is a lot of golfs in NSW

I'm interested to see how this pans out as well.
Seems like there are hardly and Mk 5's in WA compared to in NSW and over here they have a complete disregard for the redbook value...
