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!

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
