cost of pink slip nsw

Ah, the infamous pink slip, NSW's charming little certificate that says your car isn't a death trap on wheels. As of now, the cost for a pink slip inspection is generally around $42 to $60 AUD, depending on the service station or mechanic's pricing. New vehicles under five years old usually don't need one, so lucky you if your car is fresh off the factory floor. Keep in mind, this price covers the safety inspection only; any repairs required to pass are extra, and those can quickly turn your wallet inside out. For used cars, especially older ones, it's wise to budget a bit more for potential fixes. Check Tradingpost or CarShowroom for vehicles with current pink slips to avoid the hassle.
