A question for those with registration knowledge
Hopefully i can get an answer before i spend 2 days sitting on the RTA phone
I am looking at buying a dub in Qld that i know was originally LHD
All a bit vague as i have only sent one email at the moment and had a brief reply
It is currently registered in Qld.
I dont know for how long it has been registered
Apparently it was previously registered in NSW
Also - I am not sure when it was imported or if it has importation papers??
I can only assume yes as it has twice been registered???
I can only assume you need an engineer's report as it has been converted to RHD
My questions are
- do I need a new Engineers report to register it in NSW??
- can i track its NSW registration history somehow if I dont know what the old NSW rego plate number was??
If a car is to be registered in NSW from outer state it is easy(er) if you can turn up with two years previously consecutive years registration
When I bought my beetle to NSW from Canberra I had a hassle as i couldnt prove the 2 years rego and i didnt have the compliance plate
Then you get a VIUU (or VUII??) inspection to prove what the vehicle is
I understand it is basically cancel existing rego, bluey, green and register
Really dont want to part with money and then find it all to hard to register
Also - what does it mean in Qld that it comes with road worthy
In NSW i am "suppose" to change over in one or 2 months from purchase.
But all i do is inform the RTA.
I dont have to take the car their or anything??
If it comes with roadworthy am I ok to drive it for that time??
Thanks
