NaClH2OK9 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Hi guys. Sorry off topic for fishing but I need some advice. I'm looking to buy a car that was qld reg but just expired. Excluding obvious costs to make sure she is safe. What does it cost to register a 2nd hand car in nsw?

NaClH2OK9 Posted June 12, 2016 Author Share Posted June 12, 2016 The same as every other carSo just the rego fee and blue slip ( or is it pink. I still get confused) I really anticipated a big Admin fee and costs for the plates. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffb5.8 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 You will need a Blue Slip to register it in NSW which is the same as a pink slip (Safety inspection) but include a Vehicle identification check last time i got a blue slip it was $50, not all mechanics are able to do blue slips but there is a lot around. Then take the blue slip, proof of purchase receipt and your greenslip insurance to the RMS and then it's the normal RMS fee to register the car.

perrydj1 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 (edited) Be careful buying cars from Queensland . Bit of a scam going on up there where repairable write offs are bought from nsw repaired in QLD and registered. If youre unlucky enough to buy one of these you will not be able to register in NSW. In NSW a write off is a write off. You'll incur stamp duty as well $32 + 2 or3% of the sale price or market value whichever is greatest. Make sure you do a full revs check (Veda full report) $40 could save you thousands. Just recently I was looking to buy a car did the relevant inquiries found that it had a 100 000 wind back full report should tell you if the car has been written off Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited June 12, 2016 by Fozzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaClH2OK9 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 That's great advice Fozzy. I've done a check and the car was written off in ACT in 2008 as economic repairable write off. It must have been a bit of a mess at 4 years old. Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnDory Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Nice job checking there Steve. Buying a car two years ago after a Revs check it reported that the speedo reading had changed from last rego 220,000kms To 80,000kms The $ 40 bucks is well worth it!

NaClH2OK9 Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 Yet again the raider community saving the day. I didn't know you could do those type of checks.. It looked too good of a deal. Glad I got to walk on by Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrydj1 Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I should mention that there are a couple of exemptions, and I'm not sure on the technicalities, but you should seek advice before purchasing Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
