The official I have ordered/received my new MKVI thread

[chopper]

Something similar happened to a friend of mine, as I understand it...

If the vehicle is new... purchased interstate, BUT registered for the first time in NSW (i.e. NSW Plates), you don't need a Blue Slip.

If the Vehicle is registered in the state of purchase (i.e. QLD or VIC plates) THEN purchased by a NSW resident, the vehicle needs a Blue Slip to transfer it onto NSW registration. Apparently it is to stop the states minor differing regulations (i.e. Tint) spilling over to NSW. To avoid all this, the last car I bought interstate, I had registered in NSW by the dealer.

The reality is, it's another cash grab from the government, dressed up!

Also... if you change the State of registration, I think some stamp duty payment (or difference thereof) which may apply! Anyone know more?

Hey guys. This is a bit off topic for this thread. I think you'd be doing yourselves much better favour (i.e. having a better chance of getting good advice back) if you created this thread in General to discuss the topic of interstate purchases/registration. That way you open yourself up to wider than just the MK6 people.

I've got no issue with it for a second hand car - I did it with my current car in 08.

But for a new car it is just pathetic. And their own website is contradictory.

i think your on the same carrier as mine.
TOLEDO
it left Sydney early this morning for QLD i think.

My dealer just called - he tells me the car is due in the dealership next Thurs or Fri, they need a couple of days for PD so I can have it early the week after, say March 7 or 8. Great... especially great seeing as though I have their loan car to drive. Let me know what your dealer tells you?

my caller didn't call me yet. Last email i sent was on wednesday and the car was waiting to get picked up by patrick autocare?

i didn't get a loan car though
did u get a loan car since you placed the order? o.0

I did. When shopping the deal I was adamant I wanted something in stock and this dealer was adamant he could get me the car I wanted/had agreed to buy from a dealer in Qld within the week. So I made it a condition of agreeing to the sale that if he couldnt get me the car within the week I was entitled to a free loan car from when I signed the contract to when he could get me the car he promised. It will end up that I have the loan car for about 3 weeks by the time my car arrives. As it is I only drive it locally otherwise it sits in the garage. Plus I like that it is diesel so drinks only a bit of fuel. Quite a change from a worked 6.0l V8 I just came from.

Guys - i got a call from the VW dealership last week to say that the R i ordered in December is built and on a board a vessel heading to Australia!! This was great news as i wasn't expecting the vehicle until June/July as told by the dealer when i ordered the car. He said that i should expect to take delivery around mid April.

How do you guys find out what ship/vessel your cars are on? Im based in Newcastle so im assuming the boat will dock at Sydney/Wollongong (?) and then be placed onto a transporter up to Newcastle.

Is anyone else expecting a VW at around this time and know what vessel yours is on?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Corey_R]

Congrats mate! Check out the "How to track your car" thread - first post gives you all the details on how to find out which boat you're on and track it etc.

I dream of a phone call like this...

Finally picked my R up on Saturday. Saw 3 on the way to the dealership, they seem to be everywhere now.

Awesome car, well worth the wait. I don't think I'll need to apr it anytime soon coming from a 90kw impreza...

[langers_sydney]

Oh god, do you think there's going to be hundreds of em around soon, so much for special huh!~ haha

[Corey_R]

Well considering they sold 2300 something R32's, and the Golf R is even better, I'd say there will be thousands of them around
