fees for interstate vehicle purchase

Buy it and drive it back to SA.

Then you must register it in your name within a period of ???. Anyone know it?

You will also get a refund of the unused part of the NSW rego. Not a full refund as I think it may be a refund of some tax or insurance part. Not sure. Someone will tell us the details soon.

G'day Mike, I suggest you have a look at the RTA (NSW) web site. I believe you can get a refund on the rego but there will be a transfer charge, apart from the
Stamp Duty. SA will also charge you for new plates I imagine. Anyway start with the
RTA & see how you go. cheers....oldbaz.

To get it registered here you will need to take it to regency or Sturt to get a number check, fill out some forms pay for rego and stamp duty, job done.

How would you transfer it to your name in NSW if you don't have a NSW postal address?

I was going to buy a vehicle in NSW and I live in QLD.

The dealer said when they do that there is a way of getting a permit to drive it
interstate and register it there.

Maybe you should talk to the dealer as they should know.
Or the RTA

I think you also only pay Stamp Duty once as if you are transferring in your own name its different to selling it to someone else.

Dont know about SA but in QLD you can do it within a family and not pay Stamp Duty on the transfer.

Mike,
I live in ACT and have purchased several NSW vehicles over the years
NSW require rego to be transferred within 14 days
this can be avoided if you drive the vehicle to SA and register it locally within that timeframe.you dont pay Stamp duty in NSW.
you would pay stamp duty in SA and any other initial rego fees
You will most likely also have the hassle of getting a VIN inspection if the vehicle is less than 10 years old and wasnt purchased from a dealer.

you can get a reciept for the nsw plates off SA rego when you surrender them then apply to nsw for refund of rego ( this will be less some admin fees)
you can then find out from NSW who the CTP insurance was with . you then have to write direct to the insurer to get the refund of the CTP ( again less admin fees)
its all a pain in the butt however nsw will only register a vehicle in your name if you have a nsw licence or a customer number due to meeting certain criteria( I have one as a NSW property owner).
the sooner we abolish state governments and have 1 national licencing and rego system the better.
this is especially relevant as rego does not reflect ownership it just names someone ( nominated operator)to be responsible for speeding fines or to be sued in the event of an accident.

I bought a car via ebay from Victoria
drove back to Sa
Registered in Sa showing bill of sale-no transfer of registration
Applied to Vic dept transport for refund of vic reg sent copies of bill of sale received refund
At no time did I transfer registration

In SA you don't have to have a vehicle safety check when you register a vehicle, in facvt there is no annual safety check requirement for vehicles and trailers.

Hi Cruza,

I had NSW reg on my car and caravan, went to the SA registry and changed both over, all they wanted was the current rego papers and everything was processed on the spot and walked out with the new plates.

The caravan to register in New south wales $386.00 in S A. $56. 00, I nearly fell over with shock.

All the best Warren.

thank you to all who replied

your help is appreciated


cheers

Hi Mike

I recently purchased a vehicle in Alice Springs for my wife. I brought it back to WA, and had to put it over the pits before they would put WA plates on it, even though it still had 7 months rego left, and it was from a registered vehicle dealer.

That may be a WA thing, I don't know.

Cheers
