hey boys nd gals i got a question how many cars are you allowed to sell as a normal person that isnt a part of a business? cause ive bought alot of cars and fixed them all up and i was gonna sell them but apparently my uncle said u can only sell like 3 cars a year by the government if ure just a private owner is this tru???

cheers.

Haha, list what you've got? :blush:

Like said, if you bought them on december 31, it doesn't count as current year - just hang onto them?

well ive got two both r33's 1 is 1993 gun metal grey standard mods with a bit extra resprayed interior manual turbo only done 106,000kms just gotta do a bit more work to it, the other one is another r33 but i duno what it wud be series 2? but its a 4 door and the taillights are not the same as the normal gts-t's its only done 68,000kms genuine... haha auto, turbo, pretty stock, just its been sitting around for a while just gotta do change the oil and all that sorta stuff to get it running again. in a few weeks ill probs sell the 4 door, im wondering how much i cud get for either one cause like... i actually want a supra now

ive sold more than 3 cars in 1 year, nothings happened to me :S

its just some myth ppl throw around to each other obviously started to reduce the amount of "backyard dealing" going on

just make sure that they cant prove that your making a taxable amount of profit via buying/selling/dealing cars, thats basically the principle you should be following, not a set number of cars

"im a fussy guy, im just trying to find the perfect car for me, ill keep buying and selling until i find the right car, nothing wrong with that?" is all you gotta say :blush: :blush:

ure pretty right snozzle that is me, i just want to find the car like skylines were fun and always my dream car the two door but when my mates come with they are like f**k man we cant fit in this thing so i bought the 4 door so i have them two now but what im realising is i want a supra now and i cudnt give a shit about space cause im just like omgggg sexyyyyy haha

It is illegal in WA to sell a motor vehicle strictly for profit as it breaches the Motor Dealers act, I am 100% it is a fact as I have seen prosecutions and a few people have been called into Dept of Commerce with a please explain letter.

We are talking blatant breaches here not sell a car 3 months after owning it but if multiples they are flagged, who imports cars and puts them in the Quokka a day or so after being plated and still unregistered.

Brokers also require a dealers licence in WA or they are also breaching the Motor Dealers act, all this info is available from Dept of Commerce Motor Vehicles Branch

i'd like to add to DRIFTT's post that this is to prevent people from making any profit off selling cars in WA so that the likes of John Hughes and DVG and AHG can continue to flourish, many industries are "stitched up" like this and our government can be bought and sold like currency.

(that's my opinion)

It is very difficult to monitor how many cars an individual is selling/buying, but at the end of the day, there is no limit per year.

However, there are special conditions if you wish to become a dealer. Ie, dealers do not pay stamp duty (vehicle licence duty) when they acquire vehicles; they just pay the transfer fee of $14.70. When you and I buy cars, we have to pay the full amount for stamp duty.

So, in answer to your question, there is no limit ;)

thanks for the info ill deffs take this in, looks like ill have to hold onto them for a bit longer haha cheers. im not sellin for profit but i just got heaps of cars right now, i buy them bung up to force myself to learn to fix them =D so then i gain more knowledge of cars out of force, but im sorta over it, just want a supra and thats it haha

It isn't hard at all these days to monitor how many cars an individual is selling/buying it is actually piss easy from what I have seen and yes there is a limit for selling cars for profit which is ZERO.

The actual legislation people are breaching is Motor Vehicle Dealers Act s30(1)

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
