Rego costs

[Rossbx]

Hi all, I was just looking for rego costs up here in Qld since they have risen by 25% for '09-'10. If you think you are paying too much for your rego, then check out this RACQ report you may just be a little surprised at what you see

Yea it makes me laugh cause I have just renewed the rego on my v6 for 6 months and my v8 for 12 and it cost about $1500. Apparently ute regos are higher again by $60 or something like that

[gopher]

not sure how much difference there was compared to last years but i've just paid the rego on my wifes 4 cylinder atthe new rate and it was $648
i paid the rego on my 6 cylinder back in march and it was $660 so assume next year that will be well over $700.

just had a look at your link and a 6 cylinder will be $801
i can hardly wait

[Chalky01]

ARGH $800?!?! Absolutely BULLSHIT!

[Morton]

Yeah, Queensland rego costs are fairly appalling, especially for the condition of the roads you're paying to drive on. I wasn't a fan

[f1tzy]

^^^^^ yea the roads are pretty piss poor especially qld's excuse for a highway

[Morton]

The Gateway isn't a highway, it's more of a full-contact stock car speedway circuit

Governments get all the cash in tha end

Queenslands fuel is cheaper, so it all works out in the end i guess

^^^ fuel subsidy is gone and now it costs about 1.25ish on the low end of the price cycle for 91ulp and up to 1.40 at the high end for 91ulp. Good ole' anna bligh raised everything at the same time

I had just spent the night drinking last night, went to renew my rego and accidentally ticked ITC entitlement, oops. (extra $7) Have lunch on me, Mr. Government.

[Disturbed_vegeta]

its absolute bullshit, theyre way to high! lol. i guess im lucky in a way. ive got the pensioner discount on both my cars. thanks to my uncle and cousin.

My car is rego'd in the country, at my mums place and that works out $200 odd cheaper than if it was in Melbourne. Technically whenever my rego is due I am staying there for seasonal work, and I once asked the bloke at vicroads, and he wanted the address that I was currently staying at for rego, not the one I spend 10 months of the year at...

not anymore, we are now on par with the rest of the states after loosing our fuel subsidy.

[Morton]

I don't think it was so much of a subsidy, as just a lack of a state tax.

Not anymore! Fuel has been put up in price now as well. It is a lose lose situation for motorists in this state now. We pay a traffic improvement fee which is integrated into the rego fees but as for improving the traffic; ie roads and the like; it just never happens. So if anything, we are a lot worse off than the rest of Australia

Are we sure that subsidy has gone? lol

It is a fair bit. Not much fun but they know people will still pay it.

[f1tzy]

^^^ yea lol im pretty sure everyone has the picture now. And your right, its not like we have a choice whether or not we pay it, just one of those things

[mrhotdog]

my rego has just gont up to $198 for 3 months here in SA for a 6cyl, used to be around the $180 mark, rip off merchants lol and the roads arent any better (yes i know it pays for other things as well like their coffees)
