Out of state compliance/rego when buying import

[someonestolecc]

Hello,

Just wondering if anyones ever had a car complianced in another state to the one that it's getting registered in?

Asking because interested in what would happen if you buy a car jsut complianced but not rego'ed in another state to your home state.

I assume ADR = AUSTRALIAN design rule ie it's recognised around Australia right?

I ain't shippin it cos I don't trust shipping a car - I'd be too anxious. :

That only leaves driving it and considering if I drive it state to state with no rego it means I'll get arrested the only way to do that would be registered.

Now - if I ask the previous owner in the state they are in to register it (and assuming they agree), then I can drive it down. After that can I transfer it to myself? Now will they charge a bs fee or isit standard changeover and you just pay for a new plate?

My other question is - I've never had a car that wasn't registered already - when you rego a car without rego you need to go over the pits and get a blueslip right? (NSW) or can you just get a pink slip if you have a freshly complianced car?

Anyone been through any of this?

Thanks for any thoughts in advance!

You can get a "permit" for about $60 in most states to drive an unregistered car for a limited period from point to point. Use this to drive from purchace point to nearest RTA in NSW (Albury, Tweed Heads etc) then register in NSW and drive home.

yep

Yeah, i'm in Melb but compliance is in Sydney. Contemplating flying up and driving it back down, or trucking it down to Melb. But yeah, as others have said, you can get temp permits to drive the car to a specific location.

hehe Gohan - that's almost the opposite of what im looking at doing.

Unforunately I don't trust just anyone to drive my car up a truck and off it without damage - especially with suspension and a kit heh so yeah might have to drive it down.

Good luck with your escapades!
