I've had pre-purchase inspections done by RACQ which is the equivalent of NRMA in NSW and Stateroads.

I'd say go for the state roads they look at a lot more on the car starting with the engine then they look at the paint and analyse the paint thickness etc to see if any panels have been resprayed/repaired.

It'll cost a couple hundred but its worth it IMO for the information and peace of mind, also if they find anything this could be used as a negotiation tool to bring the price down which may pay for the inspection itself.
