Superoo Member 340 Member For: 22y 4m 1d Gender: Male Posted 12/04/07 12:46 PM Share Posted 12/04/07 12:46 PM Had a RACV inspection done just before the warranty ran out and highly recommend it.Was a bit worried when they told me that "1 in 5 of these things seem to be full of problems" but happy when all was OK other than a weeping power steering hose. Money well spent I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maximus Member 1,627 Member For: 17y 11m 20d Gender: Male Location: Slip Sliding Away Posted 15/04/07 07:27 AM Share Posted 15/04/07 07:27 AM Yeah I suppose you could. It costs $25 to become a RACV Member but you save more than that if you get the Warranty Inspection.If nothing needs doing you blow $169 + any extra time whatever that is but if something major needs doing then it is well worth it.Just like insurance itself its expensive if you dont ever use it but cheap if you do.Check here for details.http://www.racv.com.au/wps/wcm/connect/Int...le+inspections/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes as I know nothing is wrong with the car now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
