Re-register a de-registered car

[Treecrusher]

Anybody know how much it should cost to re-register a car that hasn't been registered for 12 momths?

The car is a '95 Toyota celica and belongs to a friend of mine. I talked to VTNZ who quoted well over $1000. Is this correct can we get it done somewhere else cheaper.

Cheer.

from what iv been told its got to have a through fine tooth comb check which cis costly but then if they find stuff wrong you got the price of repairs on top..

$1000 is probably about right

does it need to be VINed again?

I thought i heard this somewhere but unsure.

why was it deregistered?

these youngun's these days think they know everything...

iirc $480 was the cost, and to get it sussed, we needed all new rotors pads, tyres and a windscreens, this was a 95 wrx wagon, an it would have easely gotten a clean wof sheet, just to show you how hard it is to get them back on the raod

??? lol

[Treecrusher]

Cheers guys. I am trying to get them to just sell it as is. I am sure it is more hassle than its worth trying to get it back on the road. The thing would be lucky to be worth $4k on the road anyway.

Think its a goner.

Anyone want a de-registered '95 celica?

demo derby time!

[duckandcover]

What sort of sillycar?

[Treecrusher]

Just went and had a look at it. It's actually a '97.

Just like this one:

Rather you than me. I would hate to come against some old ford or holden in that thing.

U might as well cage it first

then Race the bugger

Last time I checked...

$400 for compliance

$260ish? for year's rego

$47 for WOF

This is through VTNZ...and what I will be doing with my new Legacy

sounds about right to me.

did the celica have anything that require certing?

[Treecrusher]

Thanks for that. Exactly what I needed to know. The lady I was talking to at VTNZ was being rather vague so I wondered if she knew what she was on about.

Nothing should need certing as it is completely standard. Although it is a bit rough (owned by a lady who hasn't taken care of it) so have no idea if it will pass a normal WOF let alone a vigorous compliance type inspection.

[Guest boostcut]

what about if its ever had a crash before? then it needs a repair cert which is 480 so i wouldnt bother.

[Treecrusher]

Yea that is what I've said. It costs $500 or $600 up front no matter what. And then the car could need hundreds spent on it getting it up to standard.

Best to let it be someone else's problem IMO.

Also it can cost about a extra 100 if its a 2nd hand Jap import...

Due to them phsylically having to do a even thougher Inspection of flood and accident damage. They have to pretty much strip every thing out of the interior of the car to inspect all the structal parts.

That was when I was checking about Re vinning my Black Vortex 6.

Luckly it was a Subaru NZ trial car So was sold here new.

I talked to the head guy at that testing station.

They should be doing this on every car that is being inspected

+1 they pull apart every car to properly inspect it...this is what happened to my ex's BC and my BC before it failed compliance (on a rusted door, now replaced...no I didn't send it through with a rusted door, lmao).

[Treecrusher]

So could I strip it myself and take it down there in bits?

[Shale]

Lolz. Might as well for a laugh. Let us know what they say

[Guest the_return_of_the_jedi]

is it over 12 months? try put it on exemption first.. youll have to pay the rego due, but will give u 12 months to fix it, ( not requiring a vtnz check either )

I would contact the inspection centre to see if they are charging for the vehicle to be stripped, you may find with companies like VTNZ or teh AA that they have a set pricing scheme that is non negotiable, and if your paying, might as well let em do it

yea it's just not Ben registered for 12 momths, not much more though I don't think. What is this exemption. How do I do that, just go to the post office?
