Purchased a car from car yard, possible that the RWC is dodgy..

I would take it to vicroads and book it in for a vicroads pits inspection and at the same time show them the supplied RWC you received for the car on purchase.

Car yards are full of dodgy bastards. The lesson here is if you something smells dodgy before you buy the car walk away, don't buy it. Good luck getting some justice.

First thing I would be doing is taking it to a very reputable mechanic and getting a FULL look over. Get a complete roadworthy check and raise any possible concerns like the steering to the mechanic doing the check.

Get a list of things that need to be fixed, take them to the seller. Tell them the car is ****, tell them you got a new RWC and tell them to fix these issues.

If they pretty much tell you to get stuffed or do not complete the work to a satisfactory nature, go straight to the VACC - Victorian Automotive Chamber of Commerce. They give people licenses to sell cars and do roadworthies and generally look over all those automotive within Victoria.

Chances are its a dodgy rwc, the industry is swarming with them, i know someone, who knows a mechanic, who for $150 will give you a rwc complete with mythical repairs done no questions asked. Definately a concern.

Know your rights

just a bit of basic info on the carsales buyers page, i know its not really in depth but it gives you some ideas on what can happen when you buy a buggered car.
definitely get onto it quick.

Not sure how it works in VIC but in NSW its illegal for a registered car dealer to sell a registered car that is not roadworthy. I would get a full inspection done by a reputable licenced inspection station. Then take that report to your relevant authorities. The department of fair trading of the victorian equivalent would be a good place to start or the Motor traders Association. He has broken the law if the laws are similar to NSW and he is up for serious fines/penalties if he doesnt put the car right or give you your money back.
