Rego is up for Disco 1

[Disco_owner]

Not sure if anyone else has noticed the Jump in Rego, mine has gone up from $280 to $377 , the Motor Vehicle Tax Alone is $322.0,would this be because the car is now 10 years old ? or is Gov taxing us more for driving a 4X4.


Location Sydney

Type of Vehicle 97Disco 300tdi

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Your location would help as each state in Australia has different charges.

What is Motor Vehicle Tax? Don't know about this term in Queensland.

On the Registration Renewal There are 2 components that makes up the total for your Annual Registration fee

Rego Fee = $51.00
Motor Vehicle Tax = $322.00

Has anyone in NSW with a DISCO 97 tdi Noticed a Jump in their Registration Fee?

That's only rego Pedro, not CTP as well.
As you know, it's still better than $491.25 for 12 mths + CTP on top of that!

That figure includes $42.45 for a "Traffic Improvement Fee" - me thinks they are failing to use these funds

Yes I agree with that. I see no traffic improvement in South East Queensland at all.

Unless they are putting this into the Gateway Bridge duplication where we will be still paying tolls and not to mention "Mr Can Do" and his tunnelling rats.

They must be spending it Feeeny, every time I go to QLD there's more traffic

Maybe it's to attract more traffic here .

Wow, what timing. I have 1997 build, 98 compliance Disco 300tdi and I noticed the exact same thing just yesterday on my rego renewal. So not sure if it's a 10 year thing, because I would say they have 1998 for their records as to age of my Disco. But it's quite a jump in price.

They must've spent it on the lights at the airport roundabout - what inner city, scooter commuting, metrosexual, logic challenged, overpaid beauracratic consultant came up with that idea.

The gateway is a POS in design and the state it's in.

Imagine getting out of an international plane, heading for a motorway - hang there's a roundabout with traffica lights in the middle of it, then it's a procession of potholes and patches for the next 20ks in both directions - yeah, welcome to the smart state alright
