A quick spray at the NSW RTA

[walesy]

as was said a bit further up... gotta love WA :-) can have up to 9 letters and LOTS of different colours available, and the most you will ever pay is like $550 for a 9 letter polycarbonate plate (cheaper for the 7 letter tin ones) and you can sell them for whatever you want

thats why i kept mine regod in WA whilst being posted to NSW, im so glad to be moving back to WA soon, oh and me and my old man both have a WH caprice, his is regod in NSW, mine in WA my 12 month rego is $513 and his is close to $1000, another reason why the whole east coast can EADC!

Yea I saw that a year or so ago, changed the pricing system.

Used to be for coloured plates you paid a once off, but custom lettering was a yearly cost. That I was willing to pay. But this is just money grabbing revenue, I even rang the customer service number and asked where that money was going.

"Into the roads and safety of the roads you drive on sir." The roads I drive on? Don't think so, Parramatta Road still feels like a dirt track with craters in it, as well as the other roads I take. All the lights are out of synchronisation everywhere I go. None of this is safe.

It's going elsewhere for sure.

Think yourself lucky. RTA Qld charge 2 grand for a custom pressing, plus a yealry renewal

they charge a one off fee for the plates
the yearly renewal is the one everyone has to pay regardless

what's the problem?
who really cares if it is 5 years or 5 minutes old

The RTA is the NSW government's biggest money raising racket EVER, in fact I'd say they're the biggest government owned criminal organisation in Australia. If it was just a normal private company they'd be charged with fraud and the owners forbidden from ever owning a business again.

Same goes for Vic Roads here in Vic
