Buying Cars Interstate
I have bought 3 cars from over east
It is heaps cheaper shipping a car from Perth to East as Truck/Trains are backloading - coming to WA TNT is usually the cheapest costing just under $1k from Sydney - travels bt train most of the way. You cannot put the car into your name in NSW unless you have a NSW drivers license or you go to the transfer office in person with 100 points worth of ID. Driving it back can be a worry coz the minute it leaves the state that it is registered in and it is sold to another person it is no longer registered so if you prang it you are up the creek. Feel free to ask me any questions Cheers Simon |

old man just about done that when we were over at the Gran Pri with a Charger and a New 545i BMW, thing with the BMW is Apparently the ship that delivers BM's to Aus apparently Ports in WA first , so he could have the car delivered to us, and all we done was had to change plates once it has arrived, ie he sends the vic plates and rego over, and we pay there stamp duty etc and get the car here, difference is that BMW dont have a monopoly over there unlike here with Auto Classic

i bought my sti from nsw, if you want to pay the stamp duty in NSW you need to have someone with a NSW address and license to go in and pay it.
so if you have family or trustworthy friends, it can be done. otherwise, bring it over here, take it over the pits, pay license and stamp duty/transfer and all that shite, cry at the bill and get on with driving the car. thats what i did, but by shopping in the eastern states i got a car, paid for transport and stamp duty (in WA) and still got it for less than what ppl over here were asking. and it came with over $10k spent on it. |

All I can say is that I have been driving around for five months with Tassie plates on and haven't been questioned once by Police, but I think I have been lucky and don't drive like an idiot. The car was brought in Tassie and the registration was changed into my name there as well, so it's a bit different to your situation. When it came time to re-register it I requested the papers and sticker to be sent to my Perth address, paid the money and sent it off. If I do get stopped by the fuzz, I'll be saying either the car has just arrivied in perth, or it is going back to Tassie very shorly and therefore not worth changing over to W.A plates.
What I should really do is just bite the bullet and put it over the pits here. Get it over and done with. Save some hassle. |

Car will need to be put over pits when it gets here. You can only transfer it into your name in NSW if you live there. Transferring to WA plates without going over pits can only happen if you have owned the car for a minimum of 12 months. If you cant transfer into your name in NSW then once car crosses WA border, rego is void.

fair enough, if its transfered into a family friends name who lives in NSW can it still be brought here and then swapped over to my name?
