- any idea on a good mechanic for inspections around Melbourne? I am in caulfield. All i know of is RACV :) The dealer said you really dont need an RACV inspection done as Toyota with this much KMs dont go wrong. BY the way its a Holden dealer :) stuck with a Toyota on a previous trade-in. Since thats the only toyota he has. This is what i think. Not sure if thats the case. The vehicle drove well. Alignment was out, will give it a thorough drive again on some bumpy roads just to check. Of course the dealer will tell you not to bother with an inspection. it is not in their interest for you to have it independently inspected. They know you will walk away if only the slightest issue shows up in the RAC report. That price seems low. combined with an out of alignment issue, I would be wary. I'd rather buy from auction. I think the price is too low personally for it to be an A+ vehicle all over. Personally I wouldn't go for it, but, maybe an RAC inspection would give you peace of mind. Do not believe a single word a dealer tells you, ever. they will tell you ANYTHING to make the sale. Also, remember these dealer-sold "warranties" are usually pretty vague, and would require you to have it serviced at the specific dealer you bought it from. you move to the other side of town from your work, or to another town, and you lose it. personally if they say you don't need an inspection because "toyotas at 75k are bulletproof" why are they trying to sell you a warranty so hard? you are 100 spot on. this is exactly what bothers me. this is the ideal too good to be true scenario. its been over a week now and i have let the deal hanging. the dealer has not contacted me. the price of $12k includes 3 year extended dealer warranty (holden warranty). services are restricted to several dealers (all within the group) most of these dealers are just 10min from where I live. I dont mind servicing from the same dealer as long as they don't over charge. by the way the steering also makes a zzzzzzzz sound when you rotate in any direction. its the noise from the power steering pump i guess. not sure if this is any serious. overall the vehicle is stunningly good looking in and out........this is what makes me think :D
