bit of an interesting story there. When \Ii pulled up to the DOT for registration, the inspector and three of the office girls were outside having smoko. Two of the girls asked if they could sit in the car and take a couple of photos for their husbands. I, of course obliged quickly wanting a good go through with registration. After I had the inspection, which went through very easily I went inside to pay. when asked the value of the car I wasn't thinking (just happy that I had got through) and told the girl $107,000 where upon she suggested that it would be much closer to $65,000 and it wouldn't right to overpay the govt. It just goes to show, be nice, friendly and obliging and things seem to go easily.
On another note, I rang for an appointment for registration and had I been in town could have been booked in the next day. due to work commitments I couldn't bring the car in for inspection for three weeks and they were able to give me an appointment for that time frame. Maybe you should bring the car to Townsville. The inspector was most helpful as well as the office girls. I really had an easy time and can't complain about the inspector at all.
I even borrowed a set of dealer plates for the drive to registration and they didn't have any problems at all (I asked prior).
