Tips when buying a used car
Carhistory.com.au provides the following tips for Australian consumers to consider when making a second hand car purchase:
- Inform the seller you intend to do checks on the car.
- Obtain the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and go to www.carhistory.com.au to get the car’s complete history (your VIN number can be found on your engine, on your registration papers and sticker, or on the inside of most car doors).
- Get an independent mechanical inspection.
- On the day you take ownership of the vehicle, purchase a PPSR Certificate to protect you against repossessions. You can buy a PPSR Certificate at www.carhistory.com.au.

I returned the bike to the dealer with the veda cert and got my money back. Thank you very much.
Satisfied my enquiry promptly and efficiently with minimal cost. Thank you.
The report simply confirmed what the private seller/repairer had told me. It is an excellent buy.
As a former police officer I have dealt with too many people who have been ripped off. A service like yours offers information that I was able to use to protect myself.
I think the pricing was good especially for the amount of important information given
I found out that the car I was about to buy had been brought up from Victoria having been written off.
Excellent resource. Given the average cost of a car it's a small fee to pay for vital information.
The Car History Report revealed the car had been written off 3 weeks earlier
It saved me $9,500 after the seller denied (forgot) to tell me it was a repairable write off.
I found the Car History report comprehensive.
