What are the extra costs?

Whats blue slip ?

What's pink slip?

How much is rego?

How much is insurance?

So basically, how much money do you need, to buy your first car, but at you want to save money.

Because I've been looking around, pretty much everywhere, ive looked at my options like imports, dealerships, outa state, private etc.

Does nsw have car yards. Like ssv in vic. For state.

Pic on the newbie if you want??

"yea I ride a push bike"

" I should be looking in the hobby shop for my car"

And whatever you guys say, to insult me. Of I can put it up with bullying at schools, probs could do it here.

Cheers sau !

Hello,

Extra costs when buying a car.

Transfer fees (which will depend on the purchase price of the vehicle, and by state), other maintenance costs which you will need to factor in to the purchase price of the vehicle, example - tyres - etc. If buying from interstate, calculate your costs for airline tickets there and potentially back, and if driving back (fuel, time - etc), or getting it transported (get a quote from CEVA logistics if you go this way).

What is a blue / pink slip.

You do not need to worry about a blue or pink slip if the car is currently registered. They are both checks which are required to get the car ready for registration / reregistered. Upon purchase you will need to obtain the registration papers from the seller, you will receive the green slip (CTP - Certificate of third party personal liability insurance required for registration of a motor vehicle) in the mail within the next week or so.

How much is rego?

Registration cost will differ per vehicle, per state. Speak with the relevant motor autorities if you have questions regarding this. Another suggestion would be to speak with your friends who own cars in your state which own similar vehicles to what you are after, to obtain a rough estimation on cost.

How much is insurance?

Depends on your car, age, driving history, location - etc. Get yourself a quote from justcarinsurance.com.au or similar.

Does nsw have car yards. Like ssv in vic. For state.

Yes they do, however I suggest you do some google searches for feedback on the car yards before you purchase a car from them.

The above answers are just a few quick high level summary answers to your questions. I suggest further research is required before you jump in to purchasing a car and if possible, bring someone with you - potentially a family member or friend who is familar with the process to assist you.

If you are looking for a standard skyline, I do not think you need to go down the 'interstate' or importing' path. There are enough local examples in each state to suit the majority of potential purchasers.

Also, I do not know your current age, however it is important to note that some states have rules which restrict young drivers from driving turbo charged vehicles.

can we ban this kid already?

Good luck, never seen so many posts started with random crap and nothing done about it.... WELL the first 8-9 got locked on his other account DJFRANKE or whatever....

    • Realised I never posted this , also I never got a price 
    • I'm glad to hear you've joined the SKI club. Spend the Kids Inheritance.
    • I have a VALCON if anyone wants it, I have no idea why you'd want to have VVT specifically broken out of the ECU as opposed to running it off the FCON/whatever standalone you have.
    • Hi Yes we're a bit optimistic we might get something out of sealing up the two pipes of the external wastegate and reactivating the stock one. I believe the orginal stock wastegate was tack welded shut. It doesn't budge and visually looks closed and sealed. The car has noticeably more lag so it could be at least part of the problem, maybe all. It's definately one of the key changes made since last tune. And it's one that's more difficult to fully understand and measure, not like for instance timing or cylinder compression.  Thanks for that feedback, we'll let you know how this progresses. Fingers crossed.   Regards Rob
