    I think I’m going to buy a new car. I’ve had this car for about 19 years, so the process is a bit daunting.

    Any advice regarding who to have inspect it? MyCar have an inspection service for around $250, is there any problem going with them?

    I don’t think I’m up for trying to sell my current car privately, so I’ll probably trade in even though it won’t be worth much. I also have no idea how you actually pay for something that costs that much these days - last time I was in the market the standard was a bank cheque.

      I used a mobile inspection service to check the car when I bought mine last year. I dunno, they’re all much of a muchness. I used ACE Mechanics. Had to call around a bit as the car was outside some service areas.

      As for payment I used bank transfer - first for a deposit to secure the car, then the rest split it over two days due to hitting max daily limit. This was with a private seller though. No idea what dealerships do but I doubt cheques are an option even with them…
