Victorian Rego Papers

Thanks Shaker, my sisters boss went to Melbourne for a mazda to buy for his step daughter, (he lives on central coast NSW), anyway my sister rings me and says he has to get the aircon done in the mazda (regas) and wanted to know if the price was ok for the regas as she needs one to, (hers is a suzuki) I asked her why the mazda needed a regas if only 12 months old, she said the bloke he bought the car off told her boss that the front bar had a tap and let the gas out the aircon (sounded suss to me), I said more then a tap if its let the gas out, sounds like condensor or some pipe work has been damaged, asked her why he flew all that way for such a popular car which are plentyfull here in Sydney, it was really cheap, Bells started ringing to me an I asked her to get the chassis number for me which her boss gave her. I did a Vic roads check !!!!!!!!! come up as been wriitten off. She then informs me he had no rego papers or proof of purchase from this bloke, (hence my question about it on here, wasnt sure of the procedures over there) Not sure now how the hell he is going to get rego for it here in NSW without any proof of purchase ??? Will see what happens from here ????????? Will let you know. Thanks for the info. Regards Steve

Geeez,

Wouldn't it have been easier to ask if you can register a car which has been written off.

You can register them after an inspection, provided they have been declared a "repairable write-off".
It seems insurers would rather write them off, than have to deal with nit-picking owners.

the issue is he has no proof of purchase !!!! Regards Steve

Steve,

This is how you do it in Victoria taken from Vicroads website

A person who buys a registered vehicle is required to:

complete the vehicle registration transfer form with the seller
submit to VicRoads within 14 days of the sale the completed transfer form, RWC and fees
Before purchasing a vehicle, buyers are advised to contact VicRoads Vehicle Securities Register on 13 11 71 to check the vehicle's registration details, if there is any finance recorded against the vehicle and that the vehicle is not reported as stolen. To perform this check you must supply the registration number, engine number and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) (chassis or frame number if no VIN). It is advised that these details be obtained directly from the vehicle.


Buyers should also consider purchasing a Vehicle Information Package (VIP) prior to purchase. A VIP is a package of information issued by VicRoads that provides vehicle buyers with a detailed record about any Victorian registered vehicle (excluding private information), giving potential buyers peace of mind and enabling them to make an informed purchase decision. A VIP can be purchased over the phone on 13 11 71 or at a VicRoads Customer Service Centre. Please see VIP fees.

We do not use the rego papers here we use a separate transfer form where the seller and buyer each get a copy to make sure the transfer occurs.

In the old days we signed the back of the rego papers, but a lot of people did not transfer the vehicle into their name leaving the seller liable to fines.

Hope this helps

Cheers,
John

That is assuming both seller & buyer are Victorian residents.
It is as I said earlier if the buyer is from interstate.

Hi Peter, his problem is he has no rego papers and no proof of purchase ?? Regards Steve

hi
i would not touch the above said vehicle with a forky stick
it smells of corruption sounds like a backyard rebirth job on a written off vehicle
some people are so gullable when it comes to trying to save dollars
fools and there money are soon parted
cheers

His follow up wasn't there when I wrote my reply, concur with everyone else, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!

Sounds like a waste of money to me, transferring it for 2 weeks, how much was the transfer fee & stamp duty?
