A friend of mine went back to China and left his car and key with me. He couldn't find the certificate of registration. Would it be possible for me sell it privately or to a dealer? it's a 91 model bluebird, i don't care how much i get as long as i can get rid of it.

thanks

Get him to write a letter that you can act on his behalf for all registration related purposes for the car because of his situation. Then you'll be able to obtain rego papers by going in with the letter. Just make sure he cites his lic no, card no and address as it is on his license.

+1, kinda what I meant with my post, or possibly an email to them, etc. But this works well, in writing is a lot more effective.

Yep Joe is right,

the certificate is on the back of your rego papers. When your selling a car, you have an option of either using the certificate, or writing your own letter (as a seller to the buyer)

But I'm fairly sure the letter must be signed by both the seller and the buyer.

I've transferred a car into my name before at the RTA without rego papers. As long as you have a signed receipt with VIN and engine numbers and the licence plate number, and its dated and signed it should be fine :P

got 5c here in my deep pocket (but with short arms, it's hard to reach)

PM me with your address and i'll be over in a sec.

on 2nd thought, don't listen to my alter-ego :P - the above suggestions are far more constructive

hey, you can just go down to the RTA with the Vin number /engine number, rego plates , name of the car owner , so just proof that you have the car and details of it and they should be able 2 give u a rego sheet its a photo copy of the last rego sheet , i had to do it when i bought my car mechanic needed tare weight and that and it was on rego sheets and i didnt get them when i bought it so went to rta and told them what happened and showed them proof and they photo copied it.. hope that helps

I went to RTA, they just gave this "reapplication for registration form", saying that I must get the owner to sign it

but the things is that the owner is not in this country, he is not Australian citizen, doesn't have Australian license.

I am just going to call one of those "unwanted car" ad

It won't matter if this owner is not an australian citizen. Lots of o'seas students own cars here.

If you know the owner's address, you need to send him the "Reapplication for registration" form to sign.

Then, he sends it back to you.

After you get a replacement "Registration" paper, you can send it back to him to sign the "notice of disposal"

Then, he sends it back to you.

You can fill out the rest and take ownership yourself (with his permission, I presume).

Then, you can sell it for him for about $2900.

If you don't know the owner's address, you can part it out, or PM Matt aka MBS206 above.

if it hasnt cost you anything and you dont want it just get someone to take it away, they have adds in the local paper, they might even give you 100 for it or if its really shitting you off then just park it somewhere with the keys in it, its not yours you have no responsibility for it, this guy obviously doesnt want it so why so much hassles, give it in for scrap

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
