Car Rego / Tax - omg how much?

[guest32487]

Am absolutely floored to learn that the road tax / rego for the $900 bomb we bought on arrival in Oz is $805 for the next 12 months. Eek!

ouch - what state are you in again?

[guest32487]

ACT, but the car is *ahem* still registered in QLD :)

We've just bought a 2003 ford focus for 7k and ours is only 432 for 12 months.
yours sounds well expensive

[JoandJon]

You're obviously just visiting the ACT for an unknown length of time and intend to return to Qld then, otherwise that would be naughty!

holy sh*t does that include the petrol lol ....ours is only $502 for 12 months {wa}

mrs keily

forgot to say we also pay $89 / month for fully comp ins with sgio

[guest32487]

Is it only QLD that forces you to buy CTP alongside the rego? around 50% of the cost is the compulsory third party... mind you the top up from Youi was on $250..

[JoandJon]

Vic has TAC insurance included in the rego, not sure if that's the same thing you're talking about.
Covers injury to peoples :)

Does sound expensive, our Tuscan is around $600 a year and our Mazda 121 is about the same I think, maybe a bit less. Dont forget rego includes bare essentials insurance cover too.....

I'm in NSW and my 1999 Magna costs $640 for 12 months which is $313 for the rego and $327 for CTP insurance. I also pay $660 for full comp insurance with maximum no claims. It hurts......
