REGO - registered in SA, purchased in NSW. Is it possible to keep it S

If you purchase a vehicle from interstate, regardless of how much rego is on it, you will need to re register it. This will require a blue slip. Cost about $50.00 I think from memory. This is basically just a pink slip, with a little more checking to detail. No need to go to RTA except for payment of transfer, plates, etc. (ie no pits)

Of course there's a way around it...
Move to SA

Simple answer is no, the simple thing to do is the right thing and re rego it in the state you are in, why try to break the law for a few bucks.

...also should be able to get a partial refund from SA on any remaining rego.
I did the same when i registered my car(had nsw rego) in qld.

There is also the problem with your 3rd party green slip you have to buy from private insurance company s if you have a accident and i hope you do not there is problem getting any compensation here in NSW

I have now live in Broken hill but used to live in wa where you just pay rego and that is it unlike NSW where you have to find 3rd party accident insurance and it is complicated as each company has different claim options for drive at fault ect

Now I know many people here in Broken Hill do drive on SA rego they have a family member address in SA to mostly avoid pink slip inspection but I have been told that the police do check people with SA rego

is it worth it that is up to you and what you want to do .

Or one could do a simple search and get the correct answer from the RTA website

How to register an interstate vehicle in NSW

Thanks everyone :)

State of registration is according to the vehicle "garaging address" not where you live.
So it is quite legal to "garage" your vehicle in SA (with SA registration) and live in NSW. You might just have to convince the local copper in NSW that it is actually garaged in SA though when he pulls you over.
