It will need a RWC to get the permit which the seller has agreed to organise which should be fine as he has assured me it will pass a road worthy.Are there any other options as the car is currently registered? Is it possible to sign transfer papers, drive it home and then sort it out for VIC reg? The only other option I can think of is leaving the plates on it and signing something saying I will only be driving it for X days and will pay any fines, tolls, etc incurred. This is of course if he agrees to this.I have tried ringing the RTA about this, but they have been little help.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done it, and just send the plates, and rego sticker back whenhome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just drive it back home as you've bought it - rego/roadworthy etc is done later.I bought my T from Vic, brought it back to Tassie on the boat. Just got the road worthy done here (Vic one wasn't accepted anyway) and changed plates/rego etc a fortnight later. Plates get sent back, and I was refunded the difference in rego. Should be really easy mate. Tolls might be the only issue, but that's easily explained.......if owner isn't happy with you being interstate, then just buy from a different seller!!

Can then get any money owing back from the rego and will be heaps easier. The seller has been really good about everything which helps a lot when going this far for a car.Now to wait a few more days and will be going for a good drive home!
