I recently sold a car to a local guy who simply drove it up to NSW, got a blue slip, walked into the RTA and registered the vehicle at half the price. A few months later he got a complimentary conversion to Vic plates, no questions asked! I'll certainly be doing the same if I buy second hand. Yeah I have had friends buy interstate with the sellers commercial property as address (acting as a tenant). I’m sure after 6 months transfer but surely not same week! Not that their system would be sophisticated enough or that anyone is scanning the accounts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a Melbourne chap who crossed the border and then drove home. He quoted a mate's address and 6 weeks later he was on local plates... $12.5k saved for a day trip is a great deal 😁👌 P-Kay 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a joke isn’t it. 911rox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Posted 17January Report Share Posted 17January I have had the Falken GT3 Historic Registered in SA last week ... maybe the first GT3 in Aus to have been rego'd on a Historic Scheme. It's a '99 Compliance plate and a Q3 '99 build so as of 1.1.24 could be Historic Rego'd - so no stamp duty too. It's almost exactly 4 years to the month to get to this point. It was a walk in rego with a simple VIN and Engine no check over - as the car had always been registered in Vic it was on the national rego system and with its matching numbers didn't need a roadworthy, despite the fact it would pass one of course. I did have to delicately reverse it onto a hoist so they could read the engine No. It's now in a road going set up and would be registerable in any juristiction. Fortunately here we don't have to use a horrendous looking H plate like other states - we can in SA use whatever plate we like.
