Car Mechanical Check in NSW?

[hotmercury]

MOVED TO MKV FORUM

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..

There is NRMA who do a pretty standard check.

Where abouts is the car located in Sydney. From what I have heard there are a few good mechanics round Sydney who may be able to help you out.

NRMA stopped the vehicle inspection service a while (maybe up to 2yrs) ago and now offer it via Motorserve.

Instead of that I used Seb at Girraween. If you could get the seller to get a check at his workshop, then pay for it yourself, that's one option. What's his forum username?

drive.com.au has a nice looking, upgraded Jetta TFSI under $20k (w. 90k on the clock), whose owner works in the west of Sydney - might be an option if you don't get that GTI.

Go see Seb (Bug_racer), a very dependable guy whos knows his Euros inside and out. I wouldnt let anyone touch my car besides him.

The outcome

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the updates. Got a company called Sydney Vehicle Check to check the car out.

A couple of issues, so ended up giving it a miss, but picked one up from QLD.



Cheers
