stephanie1982 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hi hoping someone can give me a bit more info as I'm struggling to find exact answers on the transport website. I am arriving in Perth next week and will be looking to buy a little run around (looking at a Hyundai Getz ) gonna spend about $2000 what other costs will I have to pay on top of this please. Really hoping someone can help. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verystormy Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 That's about all if it has registration. The registration is a bit like tax. You pay it yearly and you will need to check how much rego it has on it - avoid cars that don't have any registration as they need to be inspected (a bit like an MOT) before you can register it and tend to have a lot of faults. Be aware that $2000 is a bit on the low side. I sold my Getz a couple of weeks ago before we returned to the UK for $3000 and that was one of the older ones - 2004 and with a fair bit of mileage on it and it was snapped up in a couple of hours of being on Gumtree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanie1982 Posted March 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 There are a few available at that cost with rego so we have our fingers crossed we will find something. Am I right that I need to pay a transfer fee? And what was the yearly rego for a Hyundai getz? We just want a small car so I'm sure we will find something!

verystormy Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Cant remember if there was a transfer fee - I know there wasn't on selling, but too long ago I bought. Do be very careful with very cheap cars. There is no MOT in WA as long as people keep it registered, so you can buy some real heaps! The Getz is in the lowest rego bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 There is a transfer fee & stamp duty based on the value, you have to declare the market value & they charge you tax on it, the transfer fee is for changing the rego over, if you buy through a dealer they sort it all out for you.
