Hi all,
Located in VIC.
Interested in getting some thoughts and more considered advice on whether it is worth letting the Rego on the second vehicle lapse due to Covid-19 making it virtually redundant. Every dollar counts in these times and looking at saving a few bucks in true OzBargain spirit.
My questions:
Does this make logical sense?
How hard is it and how much would it realistically cost to re-register a car?
What else is required apart from a roadworthy certificate (assuming the car is running fine) and standard VicRoads fees?
Would it be reasonable to assume $200 to cover these costs?
Registration: $835/year
Insurance: $500/year
Running costs: $30/month
By my calculations, the savings would be the following (assuming $200 cost):
- over 3 months ~$220
- over 6 months ~$650
- over 9 months ~$1,070
Thanks in advance for your thoughts
It will cost registration, plate fee and RWC test fee. It can make sense, depends on these costs and how long out of registration it is.
