Envoiromentalists and Rego

Hi Tim

Thats the way it is in QLD, basically pay per cyclinder. We moved to vic and thought it was fatastic that it was basically one flat rate, except when i paid the rego on the bke, cost almost as much as the 4wd...

crazie

NOT ME !! Hahaha

I ripped all 16 extra seats out and my rego went from $1,502 to $540.00. Oh and I went and got a health card (cause someone tried to murder me) and it went down to about $480.00.

It is classified as a normal 2 seat VAN !!

Go figure?

I spent 4 days unconscious, a week in Intensive Care, more than a month in rehab, and 16 months later I am still classified as an out patient. BUT I get a whopping $60.00 off the rego.

BARGIAIN !! I'll say. lol.

I didn't need to tell you my tale of woe ... but I wanted to slip it in somewhere. Lol.

iMusty.

LMAO !!

Gday all

Just about every tree hugging enviro’s car I have seen is a pollution mobile, you know what I mean beat up old 120Y save the old growth Forrest sticker’s on the car and takes off with a cloud of black and blue smoke. Maybe we should pay licensing on how much the emissions differ from the manufactures quoted greenhouse output.

Oh yeah this is Australia the land of wide open spaces 4WD’s, V8 falcon’s and yes commodores. If you want to drive a 2-door hatch back bubble car on the road that is fine by me but don’t start complaining about how big and dangerous those darn 4WD are because last time I checked this was a free country.

You try going bush or towing an 18+-foot boat or camper in your pulsar good luck getting out of the driveway yes I as well as most other people hear have owned or driven in small car’s and when next to a 4WD, bus or truck know that there is nothing to be concerned about.

So leave those of us alone who choose to go out and explore the outback and go to these out of the way holiday destinations and if you want to sit in the city for your hole life and see nothing and then try to stop us from getting out there. Because what the hell is the point in preserving something if nobody can get out there to see it.

Sorry got a little of the point, Quick question. Do you think the extra money will go into helping the environment? Answer- not a bloody chance so what is the point of it. Oh I know just another way of getting more of the publics hard earned money as the government were running out of way to tax us.

Hey Tim,

As was mentioned earlier that is what they do to us in Queensland. Rego is based on the number of engine cylinders.

A couple of figures I have plucked out may interest everyone.

A six cylinder car for six months rego in QLD is $343.35.

A four cylinder diesel in QLD is worth $291.30 for six months.

And yes you guessed it, we never see much of it come back into roads etc.

I am interested to know what others pay in other states.

Cheers

Just bought a 1967 HR Holden with very low miles & exc condition. Yes U may ask why but I dont have to justify myself.
6 cylinders & $488 pa in Vic, a bit dearer than last year I believe.

Higher rego for larger cars (incl 4x4) penalises families. How do you fit a family with adolescents or teens into a small car?

We all vote and I guess our memories are not as short as some politicians would like to believe.

Hi All,

I think a fairer method of calculating rego's, intstead of using engine capacity or vehicle weight, would be to calculate it based on the horsepower of the engine.

That way all of us with diesel 4wd's should get off lightly.

Cheers,
Brett
