RACV PRE-PURCHASE VEHICLE INSPECTION
Melbourne 4WD and Commercials comprehend that your main and biggest hesitation is the quality and condition of our second-hand cars. We would NEVER sell cars that are “lemons.” That is dishonest and commercial suicide. As I’ve said over and over we are here to help with your car dreams and not with your car nightmares.
And to make sure your car worries zoom-zoom away, my company mandates that our cars undergo a **RACV Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection valued at $263.00 for FREE. This is not only to ensure that all our cars are in top-notch quality but also to stay true to my vision in providing the best CUSTOMER CARE I can offer to all my valued customers.
** Unless stated otherwise
RACV Pre-purchase vehicle inspection is done on-site. The used car’s components, undercarriage, brake system, lining size and disc thickness are inspected and compared to industry standards. Then, an engine test and a road test are conducted.
(Please note that the RACV pre-purchase inspection is a visual external inspection only and that car components are not dismantled.)
Upon completion of the inspection, RACV supplies an overall report of the vehicle’s condition and a purchase recommendation. This purchase recommendation contains traffic light guides, providing exactly the condition of the vehicle at the time of inspection.
As shown below traffic lights are interpreted as:
| Lights | Implication |
| STOP | Uneconomical choice to purchase such vehicle due to grave repairs and risk for future reliability unless the vehicle is deliberately purchased for for restoration and costing is not an issue. |
| CAUTION | The vehicle will be efficient and reliable only if flagged items are effectively repaired. Repairs should be costed before purchase. |
| GO | All marked items require adjustment, routine service or service replacement to facilitate future dependability of the vehicle. These services should be costed before purchase. |
On the other hand, the full report will contain information of a corresponding part of the inspected car which is marked with symbols. The symbols represent:
| Symbols | Interpretation |
| I | Immediate attention is required |
| E | Early attention is required |
| O | Observation only |
| N/A | Not applicable |
| W | Applicable to warranty inspections only |
| A | Acceptable – recheck inspection only |
