Puffy, DV and Tooch, thanks for the advice. Thats all true, wear and tear is hard to prove. This is actually the first time I am buying a used car so I am a bit lost. 
tooch, can you please tell me how you can get a car checked by RACV?
Just came back from a place called Grand Tourismo along Spencer Street (Melbourne) They were selling a GT4 for $11,900. Thye did not seem like a helful bunch af salesman, but they had damn nice cars in their garage. Anyone heard of Grand Tourismo Autos?
| Quote: |
Is that the place on Bell St. Preston? If so, get the car assessed independently by someone like RACV, as I have heard mixed 'reviews' of that place.
|
tooch, what have you heard of JSA (Bell Street)? They seemd quite professional. (First and only impression so far)
The other alternative is to wait for a Japanese import through Prestige Motor of J-Spec. They are much cheaper but no test drive.

Call up the RACV hotline, and tell them you want to book an inspection. Because it is a turbo, they will only do a comprehensive inspection, i.e. done at a workshop, they spend a few hours and go over everything. It costs around $250, so only do it if you are genuinely interested in the car, and have done some basic tests and inspection yourself. I had one done on my GT4, and they found around 3 pages of things! Some were urgent, others were merely observations. If the seller/dealer won't allow you to get an independent inspection done, walk away 
As for JSA, I do not have any specific things to tell you, but suffice to say that I've heard of the people there being slightly dodgy, and the quality of the cars being questionable. Their prices are rather high too, and the warranty (as mentioned above) is probably not worth the paper it's written on. However, as I have said, I am only passing on info 'from what i have heard".
I could be wrong, could be very wrong. Just thought I should pass on what I've heard tho
