how much is road worthy

Ah, the elusive 'road worthy' certificate—Australia's way of making sure your car won't keel over the moment you hit the freeway. Prices for a roadworthy inspection typically range from $50 to $150 AUD, depending on the state and the inspection station. In some places, the certificate might be bundled with repairs or other services, so costs can vary. Remember, it's not a fix for your car's problems but a snapshot of its current risks. For used cars, this certificate is often mandatory before sale, so check listings on CarShowroom or Tradingpost for vehicles that come with one. Always budget a bit extra in case your vehicle needs a quick tune-up to pass the test.
