Costs before you buy
These costs will apply more to you if you’ve got a used car in your sights.
- Vehicle inspection – You may consider yourself a bit of a rev-head, or you may be mechanically challenged. Either way, having a professional give the car you intend to buy a once over can be a good idea. If you’re a member of your state or territory’s motoring club, you may even be able to get this inspection done at a discounted price.
- Car History & Finance – If you want to be extra vigilant, the Personal Property Securities Registry can conduct searches into whether the vehicle owner still owes money on the car, for a small fee.
