Selling Car To P Plater Question

[donnaile]

Quick question if anyone can answer.

I have taken a deposit on my GTST. The individual who has placed this deposit is only on their P's in Vic. The car is on the prohibitive list. Can the P plater sign the car into their name even they cannot legally drive the car? His intention is to remove the turbo.

Thanks

Yes he can. He's an idiot. Removing the turbo does not make it legal for him to drive. It will, however, make it the slowest car in Melbourne.

Let him buy it. Whatever happens next is his problem, not yours.

Tell him to do a skid when he gets in it to drive off.

The police computer will still identify the car as a GTS-T with the turbo. Yes, even an Alzheimer's patient can own any vehicle Ed.

When we exchange Notice to Transfer Slips here in NSW, it's advisable to write the Time of Day - and not just the Date.

God know how many cameras he can go through in an hour!

Why can't he get a mate or parent to drive the car home for him?

[tridentt150v]

In NSW if he gets his parents to buy and register it as a family owned car under their name [not his] then he can use it [or thats my understanding of it], but what parent would be so stupid.

And removing the turbo doesn't work cos the law goes off the model number of the car, and a Gtst is Gtst is a Gtst!!!

I would seek legal advice tbh, if he buys and smashes are you liable??? Is it the same as selling beer or cigarettes to minors??? I really don't know. There is a legal website where you can register and ask such questions for free, might give you a starting point?

I'll find it and post.

Yes his friend (full permit) is going to drive it home but they are young so I imagine 100 meters down the road the p plater will jump in the drivers seat .

I was wondering was it ok to sign a turbocar over to a p plater for ownership (outside of driving)

I think ill ask him to bring his father along and sign it in his name so I can wipe my hands clean.

Thanks for the advice.

Putting a time on the transfer is a very good idea.

[GH05T]

the problem may occur when they decline the transfer into his name due to the licence.

I suppose though that if you have complete disposal paperwork and you submit it to the rego department that you would be covered?

[donburtron]

Your safe to sell it to him.

Im a car salesman and you can sell a car to someone without a license if you want to.

The only problem he may have is if he has got a loan he will need comprehensive insurance and he wont be able to get it on his Ps.

Thats his problem not yours.

My wife bought a car from me when we were first together and it was a prohibited vehicle and she was able to transfer it into her name no problem

Thanks Don sounds good. That's what I suspected.

These days you can submit the notice of disposal literally as soon as he drives away. I think its all done online now isnt it?

From RMS Sydney site anyway

To submit a notice of disposal online, you'll need:

• the vehicle's NSW registration plate number
• your NSW Driver Licence or NSW Photo Card details, or a MyServiceNSW Account connected to Roads and Maritime
• the new owner's NSW Driver Licence details, or the NSW motor dealer's licence number
• the sale date (known as the date of disposal), and
• the sale price or market value of the vehicle (whichever is higher).

This was a contentious issue with bikes when the LAMS system came in. LAMS meant that you were no longer bound by a 250cc restriction but you were bound by a power to weight restriction. A lot of manufacturers (in particular, Suzuki) would sell 2 identical mid-size (~600cc) bikes but one would have a restricted ECU and be on the LAMS registry. Lots of people wanted to know if they could just swap the ECU's from either LAMS to Open or the other way around but the bike would need to be deregistered and then reregistered with a vin number change (if I recall correctly) as non LAMS with a blue slip. Was just so much work involved.

Moral to the story; making a car 'NA' does not make that car an 'NA' car. You should still be able to sell it to the kid though.

I don't see why a P-plater can't be the owner, but definitely can't drive it.

What he said.

Yup. However the insurance premium will go 'Ka-ching'-mad

Update.

His dad is coming with him and will sign into his name.

No more issue and am now comfortable with the situation.

Thanks for all the input
