so does anyone know why you pay more for a ute even if you dont use it as a comercial car?? a commodore ute would be lighter than the sedan wouldnt it...?? less wear on the roads.... i might get a ute, put 3 tonne of stuff in it and drive around town getting full use of the extra extra extra rego cost
When it comes down to it, some fat cats decided that any vehicle capable of carrying commercial quantities of stuff is subject to commercial registration rates, can only guess that its hard to start making exceptions to the rules and policing them.
Don't quote me on this, but someone I used to work with years ago said that if you enclosed the rear of the tray (ie a canopy) and had the car reclassified you could dodge the commercial rates and pay as a passenger car.
