I guess this can go in here.
Hey guys, quick question.
I had my COBEZ plates registered to my old car, then when i sold it to my mate, my dad shot into Vicroads for me and assigned some standard issue plates to the car and got a new rego sticker and it was all put on their system, as the car was still in his name.
Now, would my COBEZ plates have automatically gone into self retention, or would they have been cancelled straight away?
I still have the plates, so tomorrow when i go to transfer my Senator into my name, after it's in my name, can i re-assign my COBEZ plates onto my Senator, or do i have to pay a fee to have them re assigned?
Cheers![]()
i did this yesturday but in qld, i had to tick if i wanted to keep the plates or surrendur them. if he ticked the wrong box you wouldnt have the plates now. dont know if its different in nsw.
They didn't ask him. He just purchased and assigned standard plates to the car that my COBEZ plates were on.
if they didnt ask then youd assume its still in your name, it would be dirty of them to twist it around like that. But yeah i HAD to tick what i wanted to do with them before i could get new plates for my other car.
Ahh ok, must be different here. Just went to the Vicroads site and typed in COBEZ to see if they were available, and it said they were taken. I'm HOPING they automatically go into self retention.
I think no matter what you will be able to come to some sort of agreement..
also i dont need to pay a fee to assign them to my new car, just need to surrender the old plates. i like the color of these qld plates too, the old green color they used to be before they changed to maroon.
Well maybe when i go in tomorrow, i'll take my Cobez plates, and hand in the old ones and re assign my Cobez ones.
When i purchased the Cobez ones, it didn't cost us anything to assign them to my old car. I'm guessing it's the same deal now. I'll just have to take a phillips head in with me to get the old plates off.
it was a mission to get my pp's off, i used those anti theft ones which can only be tightened.. got a small grinder just enough to make a groove to fit a flatblade lol.
Yeah i need to get some of those from the local cop shop for my personal plates.
fee for me to change lowagz onto the vp was about $90 from memory. they definately get their moneys worth out of you, thats for sure.
Yeah they love their bloody fee's don't they? Wouldn't suprise me if they make you buy a ticket to park in their car park soon. Bloody rangas.
They will go on retention,and will cost you about $100 to put on your new car.When the plates are new its free and anytime after that it will cost you.Ive been swapping mine around since about 1994.
Spot on mate ^^^
Took care of it this morning. That's exactly what happened. Was like $98.50 or something.
glad i dont live in nsw !
We aren't in NSW![]()
Glad i could be of help.
i have homer simpson plates, if only they were stock. love them.
It was 80 dollars to initially put it on my vq but since the plates were a gift the fee was withdrawn. To assign it to any of my cars is free after the first payment which i skipped anyway...
you can stop the bad ass attitude & argue elsewhere cause im not interested, my g/f paid 450 for mine and pay no fees whatsoever. plus my rwc is a once off thing, not every year like everyone else. thats got to add up some cash.
whats your point? for starter MOD, get back on topic, dont start **** fights. & follow the rules like a normal member
& you did start that crap, you could of kept your mouth shut instead you have to make comments to make me look dumb? if you want to chat & make comments like that id rather do it in person.
have a good think before putting other people down, not only have you put me down. youve put my g/f down. i dont want it happening again unless i bring it upon myself understood?
