RACV vehicle inspections

[fgtpsi]

Hey guys,
I've just received a deposit on my car and the buyer wants to organise an racv inspection of it. Im not going to be home when this happens due to work,the old lady will be.
What exactly do these inspections include?
Ive looked on the racv site about it, just wondering if anyones had one first hand?

Cheers guys

I think it includes the following elements:
- As per a roadworthy, eg. tyres, brakes etc.,
- Visual inspection for body condition and poorly repaired damage,
- Visual inspection for cosmetic stuff, eg. interior, plastic trims and so on,
- Comment on OPERATION of engine/transmission/final drive/brakes/suspension,
- Overall opinion on the state of the vehicle, and probably whether the kms seem realistic.

One thing it doesn't include is a compression check or a TK head check (for head gasket leaks). Last time I helped a mate buy a car we just paid a local mechanic to inspect the car and actually do a compression check. Which turned out to be good value because the compression was way down on one cylinder and we didn't buy it.

Yes it includes most of the above. It really isn't a problem unless you are selling something dodgy with busted head gasket, bald tyres and full of bog. It is more an honesty check to make sure it is what it is and not a bogged up problem car. Had a few of my cars I was selling checked and is a little worrying at the time but all turned out OK. They will just look for obvious faults and report them. They do not tell someone not to buy something (Unless its a death trap) .... just give them a rating, based on this it is still up to the buyer to decide.

Can't say definitely for racv, but just had one done through racq for a car my daughter ended up buying, it included a compression test
