I will always get RACQ/RACV to check any second hand cars we buy from now on. They go through every car very thoroughly. Yeah car yards will try and do a swifty on you, if your not careful.

It sounded like they were doing me a favour but later I realised that things didn't work like air con, cruise control, interior lights, valve seals, engine bearing and more. The next car I bought was also from a car yard and guess what they wanted to do? The roadworthy. I took the car to a mechanic and he gave me the list of problems the car had like warped brake discs etc. I told the car yard they had to fix the problems and knock $2,000 off the price because of the paint chips on the hood.
