    Well it was missing 2 hub caps, the damage on the RH Quarter panel (see pic) tyres only have 6 months life left in them, It needs a muffler, 1 parker bulb & I had to service it. Regards Rod Last edited by Gilesie; 19-11-2005 at 08:12 PM. Reason: pic not working |

The company that I work for is based in Canberra,
although the car was shipped from SA to end up in Vic just so I could buy it I think it was ment to happen And yes the plates are on the car until Jan. Then I need to reregister it |

Total Bargain
A nice start for you. $700 must just have been the book value the accountants had written the car down to as its no where near any market or even auction price you would get for it. |

I actually bought it to sell but the missus decided that she liked it better than my XE
(can`t work that one out). So with that I had a decision to make, if I sell it my manly duties would be left on hold for some time. As far as Vic Roads goes the buggers would not accept $100 for my XE so I figure its gunna cost me almost as much in transfer fees as the car cost.

hey can you tell us how that works... the transfer fees?
i need to transfer one of the cars we have to my name, from my mums name. If the car is worth say around... $15,000 how much does it cost? can you give them a B/S figure to get it done cheaper? All i need to do is get it to my name for insurance reasons. cheers rob |

IIRC Its $5 for every $200 of market value or so, up to a max of $500 I think. (Figures might be a bit off but thats what I remember when I did the AU) You can make up a price but they might not accept it. I think they use redbook in this case.
