Hi all need your help I am from Victoria and I plan to buy a new motorhome from a nsw dealer.
Can anyone tell me what the procedure would be to get it registered in Victoria ?
After picking up the vehicle do I drive it to Victoria then hand in the plates at vic roads ?
Do they cancel the nsw rego or do I need to do this to get a refund .
Being a new vehicle with a drive away price can the dealer organise this before I pick it up ?
Never done this before can anyone help me .
Thankyou

You can get a temporary permit in Nsw to drive it back to Victoria and then register It at home. We had one for 21 days. Quite eas.y to do

We had a vehicle reg in SA , we wanted to re reg it as a vic car ,I had to cancel the rego in SA and then surrender the SA plates in vic , SA then paid me a refund pro rata on the remaining rego a month later.I had to take the car into a vic roads inspection office and they go over it to make sure of its details being correct . I sold that car and bought an ex Govt LC 200 at auction which had no rego , I got a permit from vic roads and made an appt for an inspection , they wouldn't reg it in my name unless I took it to them .Try ringing Vic roads and asking them if you can get it reg in vic prior to picking it up , if thats a no go then get a permit and take it back to Vic you should be able to get a permit online.

G'day Dave,
I bought my Colorado new in Townsville and used a address there for QLD rego then on my return to VIC a few months later I called into the nearest Vic Roads office after crossing the boarder (Wodonga) and changed over to VIC rego and my then VIC address. I went full time on road not long after.
I rang VIC roads first and that is what they told me to do. THey actually told me I had to change over ASAP. A few moths was ASAP. I removed the QLD plates and took inside, they and I did all the paperwork and they kept the QLD plates and gave me VIC plates. I took them outsiode fitted to Colorado and off I went. All done. They never checked the Collie at all. About a month later I got a cheque from QLD rego mob for a full refund due to difference. That was 4 years ago now. Where did that time go

Ask the dealer if he can register in Vic for you. If not. negotiate a reduction in price and don't have it registered in NSW, Get a permit and take it to Vic to register. You should phone both NSW and Vic to make sure you can do that.
Pointless paying Rego in NSW and then surrendering it to reregister in Vic. Losing money with Admin costs. You may also find if it has NSW Rego it may have to go over the pit in Vic as an interstate vehicle despite being new.
Get the info from the horses mouth to be sure.

Normally Dealers can arrange for the new car to be picked up at an interstate dealer.

Your Vic unregistered vehicle permit is NOT valid in NSW.
If you intend to drive the vehicle in NSW then you will need to have one from that state's authority as well as one from Vic. They can be purchased over the phone.

Hi hylife spoke to vic roads you can get a single trip permit valid in all states which is ideal for me just picking up the car one trip.
There are various types of permits available ... thanks .
