Revs

Hey guys,

Well yeah I know I should be calling the RTA but ive just finished work and maybe someone here has been in the same situation. My friend is overseas hes left me his car to sell and now hes offered it to me at a very cheap price. Now the thing is the REVS check comes up with -

RTA FINE DEFAULTS HAVE BEEN RECORDED AGAINST THE SUPPLIED IDENTIFIERS

Now my friend is gone overseas with no intention of coming back so can I still buy the vehicle ? or does my mate need to pay off the fines first ? but couldnt he just be selling the car to pay off the fines ?

Hopefully someone knows something

Thanks Guys

i believes purchacing a revs certification protects you against these fines, technically he should pay. You should contact RTA and REVS. When you purchace the car make sure you buy a revs certification its $12 bux!

p.s it could be defected and you will need it passed so id watch out if thats the case, you'll then be screwed.

Revs has told you there are fines against the car.

The revs certification will only protect you against things that are not currently listed on said vehicle.

The fines are listed, hence, revs cert will not protect you on them.

You will have to ring the RTA to find out what that means.

See lucky someone else popped up! Look into that!

Hey mate,

I once bought a car from my mate and when I went to transfer the rego at the RTA they said it had fines against it. They asked if I was friends with him and I said no, I just bought the car from an ad he had placed. They let me do the transfer, so I'd say if you stick with saying that it was advertised and you bought it, you should be ok....but obviously you'll need to call them or go in and see them.
