HI,

Looking for some erudite opinion.

We bought a car in NSW, the dealer put my name and details on the receipt. I told him my ms. would be the owner and she will register it in NSW (I live in ACT). Dealer said "dont worry about it, parents buy cars for their kids all the time, won't be a problem"
However, on subsequent thought I walk (well, drive) away and receipt for purchase has my name, address and licence number. I'm assuming the dealer has also submitted notice of disposal to me, not the ms.
Ms. is going to NSW RTA tomorrow to do the transfer, we are thinking they are going to say "This is not your car, you can't register it in your name"
We are thinking that to resolve it I might have to 'onsell' it to her, but then NSW RTA might scam us for dual transfer fees?
The ms. will be 120km away tomorrow with all the paperwork and the dealer is another 200km away. I'm thinking that this next week could be a major paperwork drama.
Any thoughts ? Anyone ever bought a car for someone else (i.e kids, the wife) and transferred it straight over to them?

cheers
R
