Ex army Mack 6x6 trucks.

not their requirment...

if you bought one to use on a farm you dont need to worry about it.

thats their line, they'll stick to it.

as is, where is, caveat emptor.

caveat emptor

(I see BK beat me to it...)

The prices are high because mining companies can see the value in the trucks which they ship to Africa for mining projects in countries that don't have our weight restrictions.

They go out through Port Botany after every auction.

I'm thinking the person who did the brown slip doesn't know the difference between a Mack engine and a Cummings..I wonder without being stupid about it, what weight you could get the front axle down to? Alloy rims, get rid of any tank holders, tool boxes etc. If I could get it to within about 6.5 ton, I wouldn't have a drama buying one..mermaids arnt a big problem in around Canberra and really only sit on common truck routes..

Maybe caveat emptor for a mum and dad seller, but perhaps not this type of seller.

nope ,read their site, as is where is buyer accepts all risk. (in a nutshell)

Many times disclaimers like that have no basis in law. You can not absolve yourself of negligence or criminal act, particularly when they, by now, would know the actual specifications.

I think you need to look up the definition of emptor...

As long as the seller has not knowingly misrepresented the goods they are fine. Where have they stated that are able to be registered in Vic? (or anywhere else for that matter).

Just like the 4BD1s with big end knocks that they won't let you start before the auction...

If they issue a brown slip for a vehicle that they know is over mass on one axle then that is fraud, as well as misleading avertising and both criminal offences.

If they issue a brownslip to a vehicle and don't know that it doesn't meet mass and dimension limits then that is negligence.

They can't absolve themselves from either of those actions or omissions by a disclaimer.

The question still comes back to the fact that some variants may be within the limits and others may not be.
