Hi guys,

Does know of or could recommend someone or a workshop for pre purchase inspection in Victoria?

Also what would the rough cost be to get this done.

Cheers

Just got Stateroads to do mine and they are great.
Costs a bit more than the RACV at $300 compared to around $200 but it's much more detailed and saved me from buying a lemon.

I had it done at Subaru Mentone before I bought mine.

If an option with the seller, i'd take it to Cromwood 9808 4820 in Burwood. Ross has been dealing with Subaru's for years and years now and has a fantastic reputation amongst the Subie owners. He's also a nice guy.

I'm not sure how much he'd charge, best to give him a call and suss it out.

I should mention that i had a pre purchase inspection done at Subaru Glen Waverley. This was pretty much useless as they didn't provide a detailed breakdown, nor were they keen to discuss it over the phone in any sort of detail.
