What do you pay for your Registration?

[snypereb]

Hey guys i got hit with a $518.40 bill yesterday for my cars rego. I was told at work today by the guys that its cheaper or dearer depending on where you live. I live in Cranbourne so is this a good price or bad? So yeah i suppose just post up where your from and how much! I need to know where to move to, to get cheaper rego!

[The Goodz]

Rego for me is like $578 or something. It really is ridiculous how expensive it is, and for no good reason either.

Thats something that can never be predicted or estimated though i'd go for a flat rate everywhere!!

[SVT8]

better off staying where you are. "where one thing chaper another thing becomes expensive"...... like apples at your supermarket. I pay about $500 for reg.

[EFFalcon]

rego should be taken out of the tax we already pay on fuel.

[Heffnic]

[Bluemist]

$273.05 here (pension)

[JUZXR8]

only
$496 for me...living in with these country folk has some advantages

[gthofan]

i pay $460 per year, and insurance is $300 for 3rd party. ask no questions told no lies

[BOOSTMYEF]

dont pay it, if you get caught the fine is $500 anyways

think of it this way, you drive it for 1 year, you save $506+.. you get caught in the 2nd.. you pay $500 for the fine, you still save $6

if you dont get caught, you saved your self $1012+ over 2 years..

[kyro_02]

yes but don't you lose demerit points??

btw i pay like 280 or whatever the hell it is

not that i know of

gave me another idea, drive with no license.. so you cant lose points, that way i believe you get 1 fine for unreg vehicle, and 1 for driving with no license.. not sure how much that one is, but il find out..

they cant take from you, what you dont have..

Lucky man lol

[kyro_02]

lol well, they can take you to court, than the court can make you unable to obtain a license for 6 to 12 months.. even longer if they want...

I believe it is 2 points and big fine... well, that's what someone got done , but depends on the officer i guess...

[Krytox]

sounds like a great idea!
pay no tac premium!
hit someone and yes, 45years later you'll be paying them off.

**** hey, take a nick out of a power pole, they'll sting you for 10+ grand.

ohh yeh, pay nothing when you get locked up for manslaughter/property damage.. sounds pretty good to me!

[89 S-PACK]

when i paid the rego for the ea it was about $230 and i had the choice of a 6 month rego but thats a pain in the A$$ so i left it as yearly
(pension rate)

and the telstar is gonna cost me about $470... wont take me long to earn it tho.. pizza delivery car

and my insurance is only 120 per car too.. and im only 22. but ive got a clean record
and i live outside ballarat

[kyro_02]

well 4 years behind bars isn't that bad if you're a stupid :P, than you deserve to be behind bars ~

if you have your L's, and drive unlicensed it is just 6 months not able to drive (but keep your license) .. isn't with P's you have to hand them in , and get 'em back when you finished your suspension? anyways so its no that bad, could be worse

[Mr_4.0]

$580 and $1400 full comp

Not too sure on the points, but i 'think' it may be 3 points + fine now for driving unregistered.

Fair enough in your example but what about these.

e.g. 1 - Caught driving unregistered vehicle twice in 12 months = $1 000 fine, assuming you have learnt your lesson from that add RWC ($250 approx) and
rego $560. Total years spending = $1 810.

e.g. 2 - crash into car writing off your car and doing $6 000 damage to other car. Your left with no car and $6 000 damage + $500 for driving unregistered car as insurance wont cover you.

e.g. 3 - hit a pedistrian. You pay $20 000 in medical expenses as you you are not covered by the TAC levy included in your registration price.



Registration is compulsory for a reason.

BOOSTMYEF,

You my sir, deserve stupid bugger of the month. I really hope you kill someone driving unregistered, then have a MURDER charge against you. Have fun with bubba bro.

How funny is it that if somone runs square into you, and they are "at fault" that you will get reamed 500 times harder than he will.
