kralster Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 So i got the rego renewal in the mail today for my Nissan pulsar. 480 dollars for 12 months! thats crazy it's a 1.8 litre engine and i'm paying 480 a year. South Australia is the most rediculous state i've ever lived in. If i didn't like the place so much i'd leave. Sure you can say if you don't want to pay leave. But other states don't pay nearly as much as we do. And i can't really see where all the money goes. I'm somewhat happy that i don't have my skyline anymore if i would have to pay more that 480. Even my motorbike is about 480 a year and that think is only a 750. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175056-registation-rant/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advent34 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 (edited) that's pretty good. i think i paid 350 or something for 6 months.

dangerman4 Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 quit winging, yes the government is screwing us hard and dry, but my 04 triton dual cab 4x4 is high $800 a year. yet full comp on it is $750 for a $32,000 car. why is rego more then insurance? wheres all our rego money going? its sure not being spent on the roads. if regos to much for you then get a push bike.

Hotwire Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Krastler, I'm fairly certain that in NSW the registration doesnt include compulsary third party and they have to get a "green slip" or "pink slip" or something on top of that. SA Rego is for registration and compulsory third party... unless you can shed some other light on this? I think VIC may pay slightly less, but its economy of scale. You think of all the extra cars they have on their roads, and we have MORE roads to look after. Therefore to be able to drive from here to the borders, we have to cover greater distance per capita for road works. So if you want to drive on dirt tracks like in the 70's we can pay less Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175056-registation-rant/#findComment-3209659 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, their "rego" seems cheap because they have to pay CTP separately.

Tangles Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 our work van (Toyota Hiace) is $950 odd have 2 of them, one is 2ys old and the other is around 7yrs old ridiculous! my stagea just came up as we speak - $658 for 12 months my bike was over $500 for a .92Litre engine, now thats ridiculous! Costs are eating up my wage, pretty depressed about the state of today's cost of living. Health insurance is 3grand a year Morgage is 11grand a year Rego for 2 cars, plus insurance on 2 cars and house, is 4grand a year Food budget is around 10grand a year for a family of 4 (2 adults 2 kids - actually I give the wife $800pm for shopping and her needs) add in fuel, add in electricity, add in gas, add in phone and internet, and my wage doesnt cover it all. Need to rely on the Govt. "family allowance" to help get by, and Ive been at my company for 10yrs almost, working fulltime for around 13yrs now........

kralster Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 delete the whole thread it was going downhill from post #1 What? I thought my first post was quite alright. I simply stated that i recieved rego renewal (which i'm sure every skyline owner on here has at some stage) and voiced my opinion that it was an exhobeoant amount to pay. Next thing i hear is that i should shutup and not complain. It seems like something that we should complain about given the state of roads in South Australia. And yes i'm aware that hardly any money from car registration is actually spent on roads. Roads are state and federal government funded mostly. Like tangles said over 900 bucks a year for a work car.
