Compare Your Rego Papers

[BANGN]

Was keen to see how other peoples vehicle weights compare as I think I am being stooged on my rego, I have had 3 32's now and I don't ever remember paying this much for rego for it

They think the Tare weight on my 32 GTST with no ABS is 1378kg, I took it down the wharf a little while ago and it said 1280 after a I removed 20KG of sound deadner and some extra insulation from the car. So rego for 6 months is $243.70

The tare weight on my R34 GT is also 1378kgs. 6 months rego is $245.15, one year is $462.45

[Mayuri Krab]

They got mine down as 1370kg but they put it down as a 4 cyl so I'm paying ~$15 less compared to my mum's 6cyl Camry LOL

[Nic_A31]

Cefiro costs $243.70 for 6 months.

1260kg (the auto one)

The other I'm not sure about.

Isn't rego calculated by displacement, and weight brackets and stamp duty ?

[R32 Driver]

sounds about right, very similar for my 32 R

[PM-R33]

You guys pay rego based on weight?!

[syfon]

The cost of registration in Western Austrlia is calculated on the weight of your vehicle. To put it simply, the more your car weighs, the more you're going to pay.

The most expensive i've seen rego go for is $17,000 for 12months for a mobile crane

The weight of your vehicle on our records can vary because when each vehicle is weighed it can differ due to but not limited to stereo equiptment, aftermarket parts (some wheels may be heavier etc etc), how much fuel is in your tank at the time and so on.

However in saying that, the difference in the cost of registration between a car that weighs 1300kg to a car that weighs 1500kg is not that much.

Of course there are other factors such as coupe/sedan/4wd/etc, 4/6/8/10/12cylinder, as that all affects the insurance premium and insurance class the govt charges for compulsory 3rd party.

That's the answer to your question, in a nutshell of course

I should no, I work for the department

Wait....what did you say? I can't stop looking at your damn display picture lol.

[syfon]

Haha i wish i was a part of that display picture.

Actually if you look really hard you can see me sandwiched somewhere inbetween their legs and bewbs haha.

The cost of registration in Western Austrlia is calculated on the weight of your vehicle. To put it simply, the more your car weighs, the more you're going to pay.

So moral of the story is older cars are better in terms of paying less for rego like my dad's old Subaru which weight only ~900kg.

Sweet.

[PM-R33]

So do you guys strip the f**k out of your car when you go for rego or what? Do they weigh each car that goes for registration?

[syfon]

yeah each car is weighed indiviually before registration, but not on a yearly basis LOL.

Each car is weighed when brand new or for a new rego etc.

So the only real way to do it is de-register your car, strip it down to a bar chassis, weigh it, show us the weigh bridge certificate and pay rego on the weight of a bare chassis hahahaha

[PM-R33]

Hahaha fair enough.

When 6 month QLD rego is about the same price as WA 12 month rego you pay every 6 months in QLD

[BANGN]

its dick all difference to pay for 12 months instead of 6 months, just reduces the pain on the pocket at the time.

I was just sure I only payed about 219 on my last 32, but thanks for clearing that syfon

they must of weighed mine with a few japs smuggling over in the boot
