Rego

[vandrsxr6]

Just got my Regostration Renewal in the mail today.

Price is $575.40

This is $15 more than last year and $30 more than 2 years ago.

This is robbery at the highest level. It is a few we all have to pay and the state government just continues to increase.

Were will it stop? In ten years I will be paying $850 to drive on our terrible roads.

[Kryton]

what state?
im pretty sure mine was about $480ish last year.

rego is actually reasonably cheap in this country, have a look at Europe or the USA for some expensive rego!

[b2tf]

Im in NSW so you Victorians get no sympathy from me when it comes to rego costs!

[Jeeepers]

Joel, our cars would be in the 600's in Qld. It also depends on your suburb. I paid $532.50 here in Melton in December.

[vandrsxr6]

I'm in Melboure, Lysterfield S.E Suburbs

[DJM83]

No sympathy here either, i lived in NSW all my life and it is a heap more then what you stated. Now up here in QLD it doesnt seem to bad though

Gee, I grew up in Ferntree Gully, dare I say around 40 or so years ago and Lysterfield was definitely well in the country then.

The registration is even made worse as I have two hobby cars driven minimally during the year, that also costs over $500 each to register each year. Club reg is useless to me.

Really believe that the insurance part of registration (the majority of the cost)should be on a mileage basis somehow, or better still, part of the cost of the drivers licence rather than stuck onto the registration. I know I cant drive three cars at once, and no-one else drives them at all.

After all the responsibilty for insurance should be on the driver, not the car.

For a 6 cylinder, I just paid around $660 for the year here.

[Airmon]

$760ish for a I6! Utes get up to $800ish.
You want Custom plates? Extra $500 a year.

[kremmen]

$753.60

for maybe 5000ks a year :togo:

[XRQTOR]

Just my plates cost me $48o a year.

[WizBang]

Mine is around $480 a year for the XH .Whats the story of the custom plates as we only have to pay a one off $400 for the plate I have on my car and thats it ......didn't know you guys have to $500 a year to keep them

[Nostalgia]

$575.40 for my AU at the start of Dec. 8 weeks later $575.40 for the EA. Xmas smack bang in the middle with 3 kids. The cost of rego is a absolute joke.

[5tumpy]

Mine was due a week ago, $1000... BF XR6.... $400 to the RTA, $600 to the insurance company for CTP... Think yourselves lucky your not in NSW guys!!!

[Falcon4L]

That's just getting ridculous

[XM-221]

The majority of the Vic rego is TAC insurance. You own four cars, you pay four lots of TAC ... how many of those cars can you drive at the same time??? TAC should be yearly on your licence, that way you are still covered, no matter what car or motor bike your driving! Keep rego fee's low that way ....Isn't the Government supposed to "help" the battlers. .... I think not ... It's all to do with MONEY!!!!

Thats because the RTA rip you a new bottom when you pay rego, they are theives in every meaning of the word

[GORDZ]

i won't be driving for 6 months from v-day... should i bother to pay rego in that time?

I would enquire about the possibility of suspending the registration.

We in the country areas get a discount. This year Melbourne people pay $575 and we pay $485, just paid mine a week ago.

[GreenMachine]

I'd need to double check, but I have a feeling that rego costs in QLD actually went down last year...

[Boosh Brus]

CTPs rose last year by $25? I remember there was an ad campaign about it.

My rego (CTP + RTA) just cost $985. I was considering purchasing a cheap car so my wife can learn to drive but rego is just far too much.

Paying roughly $250 for the last 5 yrs for CTP + roughly $380 rego

[GTP-814]

$382 for a GTP in NSW

[Mechan1k]

I am just outside Sydney metro ... so it is much cheaper than Eastern Creek prices (where i used to live).

I just paid for the Territory a few days prior to Xmas Day.
Rego (inc. $480 custom plates) = $773 ($293 just for rego)
CTP (NRMA) = $294

All up $1064 a year.

The work ute is less due to different plates. (But they are $140 a year as they are Personalised = $340 a year cheaper) ... but rego and CTP is the same as it is within the same weight class at the Territory.

[Jeeepers]

It is sad to note that the Authorities in some states need such extortionate prices annually to keep a custom plate on the car. There are no ongoing admin costs to keep them on the computer. I sympathise with my interstate brothers on this count.

Tell me about it mate! I'm under 25 though, so they are all basically the same...
