Purchasing An Import

[Mid_Nite_R33]

Im looking at buying a R33 privately off someone who is the first australian owner of the car since 3 months ago, what paper work will I need to get of that owner when purchasing it? eg compliance papers, import invoice?, car is registered right now.

Also how do i make sure that the compliance plate on the car is legitimate?

Any help would be appreciated, thanks !

If you have followed the procedures outlined in this brochure and the vehicle has met the requirements for import approval and initial registration, there is no restriction under the Act preventing the subsequent sale of an imported vehicle unless conditions have been applied to the Approval.

You should also check with the Registration Authority in your State or Territory for any requirements they may have in relation to the sale of an imported vehicle.

It is an offence to supply to the market (ie to sell for use on a public road) a vehicle that has been imported for use in transport but does not meet the ADRs, or is not fitted with an identification plate, used import plate or Personal Import plate. Such action may attract a penalty of up 120 units per vehicle. A penalty unit means A$110 (as at 1/1/04).
