Lol anything for revenue!

I'm not surprised by any of these ridiculous fines anymore.. sadly.

Owning and operating a car in Victoria is turning into a joke.

I wonder if VicRoads actually ever moderates the declared value of people handing in transfer forms.

I know plenty of "friends" who under-value their cars by thousands on those forms, and for good reason, those stamp duty charges are ludicrous!

I didn't really under value the car, I just gave the purchase price to the lady, shipping/compliance wasn't included but meh

I can some-what understand the purpose of it on a new, dealer-purchased car: to channel taxes back from the purchase of a brand new vehicle. But why on used cars, do we have to pay a tax based on a percentage of purchase cost? The sale of used cars does nothing for our GDP, whether it be a $1200 car, or a $120,000 car. The stamp duty should be a fixed charge regardless of the purchase price of the car, and a reasonable amount; not $4,000! I don't understand the purpose of it, especially since we already have to pay out of our ass for registration as it is!

I once did a rego transfer at VicRoads and paid the stamp duty I was supposed to.

LOL, so did I. It was a sad day.

my stamp duty wasn't $4k, totalling with a year of rego was $781, car value was $4266 lol

Yeh I know lol, I was just trying to illustrate that the purchase of a used porsche shouldn't constitute a $4k tax just to change the name of the owner on a computer!

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
