Inspection
Negotiation brief
A summary document with suggested offer, walk-away price and talking points based on PPI findings.
Every Aussie Auto Care PPI includes a negotiation brief: total defect repair cost in Sydney trade rates, suggested offer below asking, walk-away price, and a 3–5 bullet script you can use directly with the seller. Buyers using the brief save an average of $1,800 off asking on used cars in Sydney.
