yes there is a clause in that Act that states that "if you're learning while fixing said shitheap up, you will not be charged a levy."

Lol, yeh I doubt it because the government isn't going to know that you are fixing them up unless you are registered with them as a business or trader. They are just going to see you buy said vehicle, then sell said vehicle for profit further down the track. Once or twice they might let that go, but you keep doing it then I bet they are going to chase you up for it.

James, that is probably why you got a letter... Haven't you sold every car you have ever bought for a profit lol?

check with DOT (no DPI now).

I would think it's a good idea to stop people from selling 'dodgy' cars, fixing them up cosmetically and then reselling without a statutory or any other warranty being applicable. Some car sales people and even dealers have been caught selling cars privately that were write-offs or structurally damaged, fixing them up and then selling them to get around the need for a roadworthy vehicle or warranty.

You have to be careful, there's some dodgy people out there :) I had one guy who bought/sold about 20 cars by buying write-offs and fixing them up as a panel beater/mechanic which you can't do if chassis rails are bent or the like.

The Consumer Protection Division of the Department of Commerce is who looks after this, they have a Motor Vehicle Division and this is there LINK.

And you are 100% right as to why they are around.

LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
