Buying Interstate

[black-32]

looking at buying a car in victoria has no rego or rwc. Can you just transfer the rego like normal or does the car have to go through regency?

If you can register it over there in your name like I did (get the buyer to write a note stating that you have been living with them for three or so months) then you can bring it here and just do a rego transfer slip which doesn't require going to regency. Else I believe you must go for an inspection

To get an inspection is easy. As long as you have the RWC from interstate and its currently registered then all you need to do is take it to the inspection station at regency (not the old rego & licensing building - i think the inspection place is on camira st or something) and they'll just check the VIN and a compliance plate etc. and thats about all. They also checked the rear windows on my stagea as they are dark (not tint, its called privacy glass) but other than that all was ok. I was only there for about 20 mins.

You only need the full regency inspection if the car isn't registered or if its defected as far as i know.

Nothing to worry about.

Once the car is inspected its just a matter of handing the plates into a rego office and picking up your new ones and pay for your new rego. Easy as.
