Need Help With My Car

[Jeremy1607]

Hey,

As you all know my car was stolen in September last year and the people who stole my car crashed and dumped it.

Insurance didn't wanna fix it because they said the damage is more than $20,000 to fix so I bought the car back and I've only spent $11,000 on it and now it's all good.

When I say it's all good,it's like in perfect condition both inside and out and mechanically.

Now I wanna license the car,called the department of transport to book an inspection and they told me that because the car was stolen and had front end damage,

it needs to be inspected for structural damage.I then called the workshop who does that inspection and now they said that I need to give him every single invoice of the parts

that I bought or has been changed or put on the car.Since the damage wasn't that severe,all I needed to replace was just my windscreen,bumper,bonnet,headlights,reinforcement bar,intercooler and gearbox.

I bought most parts off eBay last year,besides the gearbox (Hyperdrive bought and installed one for me).I didn't get most of the invoices or I might've deleted them off my e-mail.

The guy from Uneeda Tyre & Smash Repairs in Cannington said that they can't go ahead and inspect the car unless I show him those invoices.

What should I do ? Any help,tips or recommendations will be appreciated.

I think the department of transport is just insane,too ridiculous. .

Thanks,

Jeremy

did you pay for all the goods on ebay with paypal? you might be able to get the invoices / receipts from there, or request from the seller.

what the hell does the invoices have to do with structural integrity? If the strut towers and rails havent been replaced then surely they can inspect them without knowing how much the fkn headlights cost you?

I would find out if anyone else can do the inspection, myself. It sounds a bit dodgy that they wont even look at the car without them. Fair enough if they looked and saw that the front rails had been cut and shut, then they would want to see proof it was done properly, but if it wasnt damaged, then what is it exactly that they need?

Yeah I know,they're insane.I'm booked in for tommorow.I'm just gonna show them the invoices for the bumper,bonnet,intercooler,reinforcement bar and windscreen.

As you can see here that was all I needed to change.

They ask for that for proof you didnt fix it from stolen parts. Just give them the invoices you have and maybe take photos with you so you can explain thats all that was needed. Screen shots should/might be enough for the ebay stuff. They might ask for an invoice for the labour too.. That happened to me once and I ended up having to sign a statutory declaration that i did the labour myself.

New law on repaired vechiles , They did that to stop stolen parts being used and inspections to stop dodgey back yarders .

Oh

I hadnt considered the stolen parts angle

I stand corrected.

+1

paypal should store your invoices, if not purchase history - that should be some sort of indication

if you actually contact eBay about this, they might be able to 'unlock' or release to you the information about the sale (as they 'remove' it after 60 days or something like that)

I passed the written off vehicle inspection ,now just need to go the licensing centre and do the other inspection (whatever they check there usually).

Thanks !!

So what happened? Did they just inspect it or did you get receipts?

Nah,I just showed the all the receipts from PayPal and they were quite good actually or maybe they know it's a Skyline (unbreakable / bulletproof) lol.

They didn't even ask for the receipts for the labour ,like who installed all the parts and stuff.
