Count me in should a trip eventuate!

Oh yeah, congratulations! I know how long I had to wait/search for my 90.. Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh!! Best of luck with the pits.

It depends who you get on the day. Some guys are picky and want to make your life hell, but most are just fine. If you are polite and helpful you'll get further than being belligerent.

If the car looks in good nick and well cared for it'll probably only get a cursory going over, and as long as the engine/chassis number match up you'll be on your way.

Hope it goes smoothly.

BTW - I wouldn't worry about the exhaust at all unless it is obviously loud. My 90 doesn't even have a central/main muffler and it's quiet as a baby

Thanks guys, One more thing... The seller couldn't find the paper receipt from his rego. I have a signed contract of sale/purchase that has all the vehicle details on it. Is that what they will check the engine/VIN numbers with. From what i have read that is all i need as proof of ownership.

They will dial up the QLD rego database and check that the numbers match.

You better be sure they do, cause there will be headaches if they don't

One more thing - did you do a "REVS" check before you paid for it to make sure it was not under finance? If you bought it from a dealer, ignore this, as you always get clear title when buying from a dealer.

* "REVS" might not be the right name of the system in QLD, but they will have something similar to check if the vehicle is under finance/stat writeoff/etc. Costs about $15 for a certificate in NSW and guarantees clear title if done on the day of purchase.

Yes - REVS is the name in QLD. I thought it just guaranteed the car could not be repossessed if done on day of purchase???

I looked into it but i don't think i could do it from Perth as i dont have a QLD drivers licence number...
Fingers Crossed!!

Anyone can use it, not just QLD people. Never mind - it's a bit late to be doing that now!!
