Victoria - Transferring Vehicle

**tat01** · 28-10-2009 08:21 PM

Hey guys, just a quick question

what are the fees involved with transferring a vehicle within the family, eg. Dad giving his car to me and changing the registration from his name to mine.

thanks

why not leave it in his name??

and just put you as a driver on the insurance

its a percentage of the purchase price, it would be cheaper to keep it in ur dads name and cheaper on insurance to

because it might not be his dad and it could be an aunt or uncle or distant relative. unless that EG. is not an example and really its true lol. then why not leave in dads name lol

haha umm its because i have a healthcare card and i get a discount each year/also because of other reasons it would be preferable to have only 1 car to his name. Be that it is... cant i just say my dad sold me the car for like $100 and pay the $35 fee and whatever stamp duty is, i think the car should be able to get a rwc without much trouble

no. as in my dad was like..."Hey take this car and put it under ur name and rego so its urs. im gonna buy a new car. u dont have to pay me."

so NO, not paying for it. like i said, what if ur parents gave u the car as a gift or they didnt want it anymore or something and u did NOT pay for it.
