theponyremark Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Hi guys, I'm due to be off my green P's by the year's end. However, I wish to purchase and register a R34 GTR or a GTT under my name as a P plater, but not drive it till I'm on the fulls. I had a look at the VicRoads website, but I just see warnings about not driving high powered vehicles on P's. I'd like to purchase, change ownership and register it under my name - not through parents or sister. Any ideas? Cheers, Michael Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/333035-purchasing-turbo-r34-under-my-name/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulr33 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 no laws against owning, insuring or sitting in a turbo powered car on your p plates the law, does however state you cannot drive a turbo powered car on your p plates so its fine to purchase, get it insured, sit it in your driveway etc Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/333035-purchasing-turbo-r34-under-my-name/#findComment-5399943 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KURAUN Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 yeah Paul is right, however i dont see why you would do it straight away and be paying rego on a car that just sits there? just my thought, if you have plans for it then id understand Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/333035-purchasing-turbo-r34-under-my-name/#findComment-5400042 Share on other sites More sharing options...

StealthX Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Good luck 1) affording an R34 GTR and 2) paying insurance for either. Are many 34 GTRs below 50k these days?

xALmoN Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 why bother buying one now when at the end of the year, the price is sure to come down a little more? paying rego for an extra half a year seems slightly retarded to me, start looking for a car when its 2 weeks before you're off your p's.

StealthX Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 paying rego for an extra half a year seems slightly retarded to me Slightly retarded? Full retarded! "You went full retarded, and you should never go full retard man." haha but seriously OP, give it a wait for a bit and save some money... Unless you spy a car that you def want right now (i.e. that'll be sold to someone else), that's one of a kind, otherwise, leave it for a while.

Unless you spy a car that you def want right now (i.e. that'll be sold to someone else), that's one of a kind, otherwise, leave it for a while. yer i agree with that, unless there is a special one that has certain things done to it that you dont think will come up again... like a highly modified something special... i would just wait and buy one within even a month before u get off your P's... if you wait, they may come down in price, you may find a better one over the next 6 months or so, or you may find a really really good deal...

xALmoN Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 price will definitely come down imo, look at the trend involving 32 and 33 gtrs, they're cheap now.

Charles89 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 TBH, I don't think it'd hurt to start looking at them now, because it might take 4 weeks or it might take 4 months to find something you want, so be patient and start looking now and like others have said, if you find something that is 100% right for you, then buy it. You don't want to wait until the last 2 weeks then rush into buying one just because you are getting off your P's in 2 weeks.
