Thread: how much does rego cost

NSW rego and tax ($57 +$402) = $459
Green slip (Shannons) = $598.35
Comprehensive (Shannons) = $272.76

Shannons were by far the cheapest greenslip for me, AAMI wanted $800!!!
But you need to have comp or fire and theft insurance with them before they'll do a greenslip insurance.

i was looking at rego papers from 2006 tax was only about $90.
so when getting a blue slip what things do they check for?
are they normally fairly strict on the old landies?

How strict will be dependent largely on who is doing it. As I understand it, they are supposed to check for the same as a pink slip, plus checking that the vehicle is exactly as described; that is, that there is nothing dodgy about its identity, and that all its details match - i.e. no modifications, has the engine it should, etc.

Obviously it helps if the inspector is familiar with Landrovers - for example, I have had (with a pink slip) an inspector give one look and state "Well, there is a fail straight off - no pedal rubbers!", not knowing that pedal rubbers were a fairly rare option on all Series Landrovers. If the inspector has no familiarity with them, expect to have to be armed with a parts book etc. On the other hand, one who is familiar will know exactly where to look for the rust you missed, or the dodgy repairs.

what do people do if they put a holden engine in years ago and now go to get rego?

Someone who has been there will be able to help, but I believe that in NSW there will be no problems provided you can prove the engine was in it when it was last registered (either the old papers, or if it was registered fairly recently it may be still on the system) and the installation looks reasonably professional.

thanks John dead set you are one of the most helpful and knowledgeable members on this forum very much appreciated everytime

Oh - and in addition to the approx $900 - $1000 rego/third party cost don't forget the roadworthy cost, the stamp duty, admin fee for an unregistered vehicle and the cost of plates.

I got a box trailer registered yesterday - $69 rego, $45 Admin (including plates) and $27 stamp duty - will be much more for a landie.

Are these the same for someone who is visiting on a visa? Or would I have to go a different direction for that?
