Hi all,
My names jonjo im from the uk and i will be living in melbourne for the next 6 months and i am looking into buying a car i understand rego and the fact of registering a vehicle in my name. But i am very very confused with RWC because to my understanding there is a 30 day, 6 month and 12 month rwc and people selling cars dont really tell you which it comes with they just say for example 9 months rego and a valid roadworthy one guy told me it only lasts 30 days but wanted an extra $500 does that mean it will cost me $500 every 30 days for roadworthy? Ive tried to understand it but all im understanding at the moment is never buy a car without rwc as it can cost thousands of dollars. I just think 500 dollars every 30 days is extortionate to drive a vehicle! I assumed rwc was the uk equivalent of M.O.T but you pay that once every 12 months.
Thanks.
