TomT Spooling Member Donating Members 961 Member For: 13y 5m Gender: Male Location: Blue Mountains, NSW Posted 16/02/12 08:21 AM Share Posted 16/02/12 08:21 AM Does anyone know if someone with a provisional license in NSW can still register a Turbo car in their name and not drive it?The situation I'm in is I get my open license in just under 2 months, been saving for ages.The right car has come around early at a very good price, so I'm jumping on it. (Have it sit garaged, registered and insured - stare at it and wash it alot )Only problem is a need to get a small loan to make up the rest of the purchase price, and the person from the car loan company doing my application today was under the impression that a P-plater cannot register a Turbo car, but he wasn't sure.This is bad because it means I wouldn't be able to get the loan until I get my opens.Now there is work around's to this, I get my parents to register it for now etc etc. So the sale will go through on Monday either way.I'm 90% sure anyone can register any car they want in NSW though, which would make life a lot easier, can anyone confirm?P.S. The RTA office hours are down at 5pm, which is why I'm bothering you guys Cheers Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78951-question-about-rego/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your parents did do it I don't think you have to pay anything to transfer it back to you either, because your family. If that's what your worried about.

Would rather have it done with now. Do we have any regulars who work for the RTA? haha Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78951-question-about-rego/#findComment-1197285 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could register a BMW M5 even if I didn't have a licence.

You see on those cop cars they see a car and go 'oh, that cars registered to a restricted licence holder and there's no p plates. Let's have a chat to the driver.'
