Buying a car interstate

Post by mxysxy »

I know this might have been mentioned couple of times but anyways…………

I am seriously thinking of buying a small 4x4, one of those HRV’s

The car I like in QLD though
I am able to organise the inspection, tests, etc….
However, not sure about what involves in registering the car in VIC, and the cost of this.

Researched the forum a bit and found things like
You need to get the car blue slipped, you can't just get the registration transferred
Not sure what this blue slipping is?
De register the car in Vic.... get a permit to drive the car into NSW from Vic roads, pink slip it in NSW and register it.
Make sure you have all the details of the previous owner. And by all I mean ALL, including an invoice for the sale for the vehicle stating vin/chassis number, engine number, colour, old rego number etc! Inc finance check
Do I have to deregister the car in QLD? Or can I do this from VIC?
What’s this permit to drive to another state? Cant I just drive it from QLD to here, and fix it all up here? I should be able to drive the car anywhere in Aus right?

What are the costs involved? Should I go this path?

Finally, can I just be cheeky and do nothing about the rego, drive the car back to VIC, and live happily ever after. :lol:

The easiest thing to do as in least paper work is, de-register the car. Get a temp rego from the QLD transport.

Once you in Melbourne, you just need to get a Road Worthy and rego the car under Victoria. Since you have to do all the work and pay for all these fees, you should able to lower the car price down. As the seller would have had to pay for Road worthy if he was selling it to someone in the same state.

What i was told by the RTA to get a car into sydney was...

Drive the car back to Sydney, get a Blue slip, Pink slip and a CTP insurance slip from my insurance company with the rego blanked out to be filled in later by the RTA, and the old plates and then pay rego and stamp duty and you'll get your new nsw plates.

Dont know if its the same for Victoria though.
