Hi all

 

Planning a move to North Queensland can anyone explain the logistic of buying a used car, budget max $4000?

 

Need rego - can tax, do you have to pay this in a lump sum?

Safety cert? does it need one

Cost of stamp duty?

 

Any advice about top up insurance and can you pay monthly for it

 

Thanks for any help TT x

Need rego - can tax, do you have to pay this in a lump sum? You can have 6 or 12 months as you would in Uk, buying 2nd hand may have some rego on it

Safety cert? does it need one, Seller has to provide safety certificate not the buyer

Cost of stamp duty? Not sure between 5 and 10% I believe

 

Any advice about top up insurance and can you pay monthly for it. The rego gives you basic 3rd party insurance, but does not cover damage to property, so you need to take out a good policy, most companies will allow monthly payments for this.

Hope this helps, if you buy from a dealer look for On the road prices, that means they pay rego and stamp duty, but costs more than a private sale.
