Looks like I'll need both green and blue. Green and blue are mandatory.

I just called Service NSW and they said, they take interstate plates and de rego the car, which sounded odd.

Hey, just updated it sorry somehow missed that part. yes it is.

It's a bit of a different situation now, funds are good. Looking local now, I'm getting the car inspected and it just seems the seller is the complication now. The car is in NSW but registered in another state.

PPSR is all clear.

So the seller said he provide the blueslip before the sale. In terms of defect how do I know if it's defected, is it PPSR? I don't know if it is. yes the car has some modifications.

I hope so, yeah that seems like a huge issue. I don't think they will de register it, they bought it sometime ago and I assume with QLD rego.

Hi all, I'm going to be buying a car soon (never bought one unregoed, it's in nsw but is regoed in another state) so was looking for some advice on the process. Here is what I was going to do (I already got a quote for insurance and will activate it once the car is bought): Step 1 - Get an unregistered vehicle permit from Services NSW Step 2 - Drive the car from the seller to my house and keep it stored Step 3 - Get green slip online (blue slip should already be provided by seller) Step 4 - Get a pink slip (or don't need this as I'm getting a blue slip?) Step 5 - Head to SERVICES NSW to lodge notice of disposal and get plates for car ( should I do this earlier? As I understand I first need greenslip before I can get rego) Step 6 - All done now, and will do a service Is there anything I missed or got wrong? I also just heard that apparently compliance for imports isn't universal for all states? This sounds like a major concern.

Makes sense. Yeah will defs get a check, seems to be priced quite a bit less compared to others.

ah ok, thanks. That makes sense. Appreciate the info as always.

ah ok @joshuaho96 said that the oxidation on the intake and stuff generally means rust in other areas.

Ah ok makes sense, will cost be a fair bit to inspect so hopefully turns out right.

I meant this part not the exhaust shield.

Oh I was referring to the white metal thing at the back looks like the differential.

Thanks man, I'll use that. This is the oxidation I was mentioning, is that technically rust? Seems like there is some yellow bubbling to.

I'm going to be buying a JDM from Japan soon and found a potential importer but I noticed on a lot of these JDM cars on the intake manifold and differential there is salt oxidation, which I understand cars over seem to be more prone to rusting than here. Is salt oxidation something to worry about if it's on the frame of the vehicle or is just general rust I should look out for? Also I heard in Japan they don't have something like we do have here for PPSR or Carfax from America, but a guy told me they do they do have it, what's the best website to do the check if it exists?

I called up. Turns out it has finance lol. Whole thing seems dodgy, now gotta wait until it clears from ppsr.

It's showing this: I'll give a call to the company next week and if there's no finance get it all in writing.

I went to inspect a car and it had finance, now it shows finance from a few years ago and the owner said that it has no finance and he never received an letter or anything. But it shows the registration of the person who had the security interest which isn't the same as the seller's (and that rego doesn't seem to be active anymore), who now has the finance the old owner or the new one? I know usually it follows the owner but it looked odd to me, and shows the finance ends in a few years.

Ah ok, but isn't even a 1997 car considered a modern car? That's why I was a bit confused.

I was calling a mechanic about doing a pre inspection for a car and he mentioned that mechanics don't do them anymore and it's not just as simple as pulling out spark plugs on modern cars but instead they do oscilloscope tests instead? I've never heard of this and I haven't found much information on it. Is this true?

A lot of cars people swap the engines, if it has a blown engine for example. Would the replacement engine be fine as long as there is a reciept?

Are you saying getting a repairable writeoff inspected to be able to be road worthy again is hard? I didn't know that extra stuff you said cheers for letting me know, so those extra documents (the list u referred to), I understand you said the list must follow every buyer, is this only for when the car needs a blueslip and I assume it's a legal requirement the way you worded it? Where can I find that information online that refers to the list needing to follow buyers? I called RTA and they said as long as the car is not 3 months out of rego I just do regular pinkslips. Only thing here I can think is that the mechanic doing the pink slip will want that list?

Ah I see, that makes sense. Yeah so car was a repairable writeoff 10 years ago so I guess it's now a "repaired write off" as it has been fixed. The car isn't regoed currently and insurance expired, will this be a problem to re-register it, or is it just a standard blue slip and pink slip since the hail was already fixed? I wonder if some mechanics will be iffy about it, since it will show that it was a repairable writeoff.

Oh really? So it will just be statutory writeoffs?
