Pink Slip vs. Pre-Purchase Inspection: What's the Difference?

- Depth: Surface-level
- Who Needs It: All vehicles over 5 years old for rego renewal
- Cost: $40-$70

Pre-Purchase Car Inspection
- Purpose: Protect your investment when buying a used car

Why This Matters for Castle Hill Buyers:
- 63% of used cars have hidden issues a Pink Slip won't find
- Our inspections average $2,800 in repair negotiations for clients
- We find flood damage, odometer rollbacks & accident repairs
