Hi everyone
I've got a few questions.
a) I'm in Victoria. If I want to buy a car in another state (probably NSW) that has been highly modified and is engineered, will Vicroads accept an engineering certificate from another state like NSW?
b) If I'm buying a car from another state, will Vicroads accept a RWC from another state or will I have to get one from a Victorian mechanic?
c) When I'm buying a car from another state, if these RWC's and/or engineering certificates are valid in Victoria, will I still have to present the car to Vicroads or just show them the paperwork while the car's at
home?
d) If I buy a car from another state and get a new RWC in Victoria, will I have to present the car itself to Vicroads or not?
Thanks everyone

Bucky, I bought my patrol in NSW and changed the rego to Victorian, I did
my home work and what I found was that if the rego was still valid in NSW it was fairly easy to change over, just needed a Victorian RWC and hand the plates back, get new Vic plates, no inspection. If not registered etc, permits etc are fairly expensive to get.
The seller and buyer both have to trust each other for the time it takes to pick up car, drive to Vic and get a RWC, change over rego, as it is still in the sellers name etc. No idea about engineers certificates sorry.

We brought a VW Manx down from Queensland, about 7 years back, and the people at Vic Roads didn't even want to see it.
Because our
young fella was living in
Townsville, and purchased it there.
When he moved back
home, to Wonthaggi, he brought the little buggy with him
The Blue one, SWMBO is beside it

Mind you I was in at Vic Roads a few times talking to them about it.
They had no Issues in giving me Victorian plates, when I turned up with the papers.
There is a story there
Work with these guy's.
I also looked at bringing a highly modified vehicle down from NSW, at the same time. I dropped in and they checked out the rego. Nothing done in the NSW rego office to say it was modified, just everything standard. On their advice I walked away from the deal. So much for that "cruiser"....
Do your homework mate
It may save you a lot of heart-ache !
Cheers
