I think the prices are kept artificially high to support the industry, if everyone does it then it works, but if there is true competition, then prices would collapse, like it happened in the UK.

No checks In wa the only check you will get is the one the garage say they have done, or you get the RAC to inspect and cough up the fee, I'm wondering how long it will be before some sort of check is brought in there are some really dangerous looking cars out there
and you can bet they only have the basic insurance
