🚗 Buying a used car? Here's what you need to know first
Used cars are popular in Australia — in fact, they outsell new cars by nearly 2 to 1! But a lower price tag also means more risk. Here are some tips before you hand over your cash:
✅ Run a PPSR search to confirm it's not stolen, written off, or still under finance.
✅ Get a pre-purchase inspection (cost $200-300).
✅ Check your warranty - dealer purchases are protected, private sales are buyer beware.
✅ Budget an extra $1,500-$2,500+ for stamp duty, rego & CTP
✅ Watch for scams on Marketplace or Gumtree
The easiest way to avoid all this stress? Buy from a dealer you can trust 🙌
At Ando Auto Group, every car is quality-checked, transparently priced and dealer-protected, so you can buy with confidence.
