that's easy. It depends on which state.

Very formally and generally, you have to have the seller unregister the car itself

and then you can bring it back to your state. Easy way is to use the transporters else you can drive it back to your state.If you lived in VIC, just get an "unregistered vehicle" pass for $30 something the first day and a few dollars for each of the next few days from VICROADS.

Once you get it back to your own state, do a roadworthy and get the necessary documents. Then, bring it into the road authority(like VICROADS and so forth for other states) and get it registered.

Piece o' cake...

Make sure you get the car inspected though...

At the current petrol prices, wouldn't you be much better off calling up a transport company and spending about $280 transporting it from let's say Sydney - Melbourne. This way, your car will not be at risks of stone chips and other unexpected 'vistors' on your way back on the highway. Rather than spending your precious time driving it back.

My 2cents.

well that's true but if you can afford a skyline, would you be thinking about petrol prices?

also, another thing with transporting cars is that you don't want your car to be in the depot overnight or so.Who knows what those animals would do to it.

Also,well,i'm a car carer so i don't like no body touching my car but my mechanic or my girl. :lol:

      I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛

      Oh man what a deal.... Funny enough (well not really) I sold a car to some old dude (buying for his Daughter) on a Saturday, He asked if she could take the car now and pay me the money on Monday as the bank wasn't open. Needless to say I told them to come back with the cash or get f**ked! Luckily the money seemed to magically appear in his pocket a few minutes later, so it all ended well (for me).

      Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.

      @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑

      I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed
