How about a couple of horses Iain?

Will make a commitment re a new car perhaps nearer the time.

Received an official communication from a Victorian Road Reg office to this effect;

The Victorian Roadworthy Certificate needs to be dated within 30 days of
the transfer and needs to be an original to be valid.

Complicates things a bit for me.

Gees JJ, just buy an old clapper to do your running around in.
No Rego.
No Insurance.

Whats the worst that can happen if Dan pulls you over?
By the time it gets serious youll be on the plane back home.

Unless they clap you in irons and send you to Port Arthur.

Yeah as long as I don't bump into you.

A dealer will offer a certificate upon sale, they don't write them up prior because they have to pay for them.
What is the complication, you have a prescribed period of time to effect the transfer of the vehicle.
If it is a new vehicle it is a different matter as the dealer does everything on your behalf, and there is no transfer fee like on a secondhand vehicle.
So, a $15k Hyundai brand new would work out cheaper than a $14k secondhand 3 year old Corolla, and have a better resale value after 6 months.

Yes Iain, that seems to be the route to take and perhaps avoid buying privately and having to get a RWC myself on the really cheapo.
