would I get away with saying $5k for an evo seeing as it is listed as a 2001 lancer?

or do they inspect it now?

(it's been a LOOOOOOONG time since I bought a car with rego)

It's market value or purchase price same as stamp duty on a house

See the government cares not how much over the top you pay but try and undersell and boy are the on you like a tonne of bricks

Stop people rorting the system / not filling state coffers appropriately (in there eyes)

They don't inspect on the spot but they do random audits, if yours gets audited then you get a fine on top of the realistic value at the time. As well as your car being derego'd until you pay it

I just paid mine in accordance with red book. f**k taking the chance man. Came to like $6-700

And it is listed as a lancer evolution 4g63t if its listed as a lancer I'd like to hear from you when a cop pulls you over and knows the difference

It's not just what you tell em. It's what the vin comes up as

yeh, the Vin will be a CT9A number, however when you do a vehicle search this is the only thing that indicates an EVO

I might just have to pay it :/

it's not the money, it's the principal.. i'm fkn SICK of paying fines and fees to live in victoria

Market Value? I thought it was purchase price? When I bought my 33, the seller was like "Do you want me to fudge this value on the vicroads form? Save you some transfer money?"

Purchase price or market value - whichever is higher. So if you sell a car to a relo for $10 you should put market value... Believe vicroads can fine if you put something unreasonable

and on that note:

This is my official resignation from paying attention to speed signs and road rules.

I have tried to follow the law and no matter what I do I keep getting bullshit fines. In the last 10 years I have received two tickets for less than 5km over whilst trying to do the limit, and one for 58 in a 50 that I thought was a 60.

Add this to being pinned for using my mobile phone whilst stuck in a traffic jam not moving, and a red light fine for a light that was clearly orange when i went through and i've had enough.

They fine you one way or the other... I might as well just do whatever I feel like and pay the fines like I would anyway.

Well done Vic Gov / Vic Pol... I am now ofically less safe on the roads than I was before all your bullshit revenue raising.

:rant:

that's what I thought...

I cant beleive you have to pay 4% of the "market value" just to change the name on a second hand car... even for victoria that's bullshit

You can still be creative...if you happened to buy the vehicle with a myriad of problems (but still RW) at the time and fixed them up after transfer of registration, well it's not your fault the market value has gone up since your value-adding repairs were done.

My only concern would be...and I'm not 100% on it...if insurance would kick up a fuss in the event of a claim and refer to your registration stamp duty for a cheaper covered value.

no they wont.

i declared 6k on my 32R.

I definitely didn't put down what I paid for my car lol. Vic Roads only know my car as a 2002 Nissan Coupe. A GT-T is worth about $15k :)

And I know someone who did get caught once. All they made him do was pay the difference. No penalty fee.

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
