Hence the increase in "interested? 0404......." type signs. Plausable deniability. "No, officer, the sign is for Girls who like me!" Though, this is actually the case for many areas in Sydney ; )

Seems odd - why do I constantly see vehicles for sale on ebay in the wrecks section - from Qld that do not have safety certificates.

Sorry does not make sense.

NO.......If the vehicle is registered it must have a safety cert. Otherwise it is a "As is , where is" sale. Unregistered vehicles can be sold but it is a case of buyer beware!

It's really a bit crazy.
If you transfer a NSW registered car to Queensland you have to get a Safety Certificate which costs $50.
In NSW , safety certificates ( at $30) are required for registration every year after 4 years old whereas in Qld never.
I think one could convincingly argue that the whole thing is a waste of time and money.
Hey but the nice young lady at Mt Gravatt registry bought my argument that a Vitara convertible was NOT a utility, and gave me car rego, where in NSW it was a ute with higher rego.
Go figgure
Regards Philip A.

I want to sell my son's bus which is registered in Qld but currently down here. I need a safety certificate. I want to keep the bus regoed in Qld until sold as I can do it 6-monthly and without annual inspections - and it's cheaper than here in NSW.

I assume I can't use a NSW inspection.

I may have to do it like all the eBayers - sold without rego but that makes it harder to sell.

in QLD we don't need yearly inspections here and you can register it half yearly BUT you need a QLD safety certificate to sell a vehicle if registered.


Mrs ho har:D

In NSW, the RTA will accept a safety inspection certificate from another state if you are interstate when the rego becomes due.

They do, however, prefer a NSW certificate which can be issued 2 (or 3?) months before rego is due.
