Hi

I have an 80 series turbo and had PVS as the shape code until I discovered that a PVF code leads to cheaper green slips.

So I rolled down to the RTA and asked if they could alter the code to PVF which they did no charge.

So anyone with a PVS code check the various green slip prices. I found QBE to be the cheapest this year provided I had the PVF code.

You can get several quotes at once from www.maa.nsw.gov.au. In the case of QBE the quote from this site assumes a PVF code.

Cheers.

Im not sure what the PVS means but PVF means Panel Van Four Wheel Drive.

PVS is some goods vehicle classification I believe.

From the RTA motor dealer's guide. No mention of PVF though. Perhaps a 'special' category designed to screw a few extra cents out of 4WD owners (we are, after all, responsible for most of the problems in the world from stupid pedestrians to the war in Iraq).

I love posts where they are in a language that no one understands or use TLAs (three letter acronyms) that require a glossary...

I think it has something to do with green slips, whatever they are

Be careful though as a panelvan isn't a stationwagon and it could affect your insurance and rego.
Panelvans usually only have 2 or 3 seats, panelvans with seats (PVS from memory) are in a different category insurance wise to a wagon which is what your 80 series should be labelled as, especially as a wagon is cheaper to insure (greenslip and general insurance) and register than a panelvan.
All to do with whether it is passenger or goods carrying.

In NSW a Suzuki Vitara soft Top is designated a UTILITY with high green slip cost.
Regod it in Qld and they also wanted to call it a utility but a showed the girl that it was a soft top with 4 seats and they registered it as that.
Unbelievable how the RTA continually screws you.
