Terrible Time Of Year To Have Bought A Car

[Shell]

It sounds like a pain in ass to register a car in NSW...

In the ACT we just pay one lump sum every year that includes rego and CTP and we dont have compulsary inspections either, once the car has passed its first inspection as long as you dont get defected and you dont let the rego run out for more than 12 months you dont ever have to have it inspected again.

I guess we have a pretty good deal going down here

and if we get personalised plates, we pay once and get them forever, no paying stupid fees each year!

I bought my car on about the 16th of december, you try pay for presents and save enough to drink when you have to pay $1500 rego and $3000 insurance.

What a rip! Damn car!!

$1500 rego? $3000 insurance?

Im new to this club and i bought my car last december 08 paid

$500 for my rego for 2010

$650 CTP greenslip

$2050 for Full Insurance

for me its $275 rego fee, vehicle tax.

CTP greenslip $336 (join sau NSW club and see how i saved $300 on my green slip, only costs about $60 to join so its well worth joining just for that info)

Comprehensive insurance with just car @ $1800 a year, car is insured for $17k (thats what they valued it at so i'm not complaining), mildly modified. R33 gts-t series 2.

cant see why you guys are paying so much, ask questions, dont just accept the first number they give you.

hope this helps...

and all this is in my name, im 22 years old, still on green p's for a few months, no accidents though.

My 'Line Rego is due 12th Dec

My 'Lude Rego is due 21st Dec

Everyone gets cheap prezzies on the 25th

I didn't know about the 6 month rego - don't celebrate Yulefest anyways

That sounds promising.

Also,I did like you said,and asked an insurer some questions about agreed value + modifications.

Now they said that my mods will be covered provided their legal.

Does that mean they have to be engineered to be deemed legal? like exhaust and suspension...

[Sl!m]

good question.. don't know about that one..

but in re: to the greenslip.. I also saved myself $300+ last year on renewing my greenslip

[phatlavish]

How do ya get a cheaper greenslip by joining the club?

[Sl!m]

you have to join the club to find out*

*we don't gurantee you wil get cheaper greenslip, it's just worked out that way for the majority of people so far

[Beer Baron]

well feel for me. I have one car due on christmas eve! lol and another due in jan. and one due in feb. d'oh!

[Schoer_gtst]

My r33 gtst is the first car i bought myself. My problem is christmass and new years are expensive times. I shouldnt have bought a car on the 14th of january 2008. because on the 14th of january 2009 insurance, pink, green slip, rego all has to be paid right after the hollidays lol.

just some advice to somebody who is wanting to buy a car at this time of year, DONT!!!

Ha how do you think i feel my rego ran out on the 23 of december. Word to the wise dont buy are car when if rego ends in december.

[Sl!m]

well feel for me. I have one car due on christmas eve! lol and another due in jan. and one due in feb. d'oh!

I feel no pity for you and your collection of awesome cars

You guys obviously fail at budgetting hey?

Put a bit of money aside each week and it pays for itself... Plus you get interest on it.

[Cassbo]

You could leave enough money aside to cover insurance, CTP, rego and a potential excess all year around...

Just saying

You guys obviously fail at budgetting hey?

I hear an echo

when you study full time, work full time, you wanna party full time and go on $15000 european adventures..... things get alittle tight sometimes, how else could i save $15k in the first place without budgeting lol.... you only live once.

nah we arn't complaining or failing at budgetting (generally speaking) just the bank account really drops bad after the festive season and then other expenses like rego, insurance...ect.... are due at same time

[fatz]

lol i find when i buy i car i know i have to pay trasfer/ insurance/ rego if its due on the car im buying

now im not quite retarded but if i cant affor all of the above in one go i generally buy a cheaper car

im also writing a book... chapter one is called "going to the university of life"

suck the balls
