Buying: Within ACT or Sydney?

Rincewind...you a Terry Pratchett fan?

I ended up buying mine from a private seller in Canberra, far less hassles. I went to most of the dealers when i was looking for mine, and left thoroughly underwhelmed.

Anyways, there's a thread floating around here you might want to read, doesn't really answer your questions but it's worth reading if you're in the market for a Line.

Unless things have changed since I got my R33 rego transferred from NSW to ACT late last year, Gus is basically correct - you can get the roadworthy done anywhere.

BUT if you purchased the vehicle privately you will also need to get an identity check done, which I was told could only be done at dickson, so I decided to get both done at once. Didn't have any problems getting a stock 'line through after puting on some decent tyres and replacing a leaky castor bush.

I recall someone saying the rules for over 15 year old cars might be different though, but if your buying a 33 that won't matter.

racewind you sent me a PM a while ago but I accidently deleted it with you phone number.... My mum is actually looking to sell her car soon so before you go off to sydney it might be worth a look, its a bit more expensive than alot of the other skylines on the market but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. You can call me on 0418 327 427 if you keen, I'll let you make the moves. If your not interested thats cool as we will just trade in!!! I think its worth buying local because you feel more comfortable when inspecting the car in a more familiar environment, also you can look at the car longer and maybe a few times and its easier to find out about the vehicle.
