This is actually not a bad idea, the onus may fall back onto the car yard to prove they did not defraud you.

Being that a high percentage of buyers (although not as high as it should be) will run a check you could be pushing to sell the car to anyone who's not a mug.

Do what Ari said. They are obliged as a LMCT trader to make it clear that the car was at some point a write off.

I had someone try and palm off a FPV Typhoon to me that was a Write Off in NSW and just recently (as in that week) transfered to Vic Plates, it didnt show up on the Vic Roads website as a write off, infact it had very little information, however he put up pictures of his NSW plates on his add so I ran them as well. Its a real pain in the arse that the Vic Roads one is now 30 odd bucks.

Youre lucky that you got it from a dealer otherwise it would be tough ****.

nah mate. im an LMCT and i know from expierence that office of fair trade take the consumers side above and beyond any reason. theyll force the yard to take the car back.

The onus was on you to run a check before you purchased.

Lesson learnt, you need to move on and check next time.

What give up? Just like that
You are aware that car yards have a legal responsibility for this sort of stuff aren't you?

You can go back to local car yard & tell them the problem you are facing, they might tell you any alternate solution to your problem.

wouldn't even bother with the car yard, they'd sooner destory the evidence then pay up, do what ari says.

The onus was not on the OP, the car yard has to operate under Australia's laws and regulations, clearly they did not!
To blame the op is pathetic, this is clearly the car yards wrong doing, they are clearly in breach of the law and will soon suffer the consequences.

Do as Ari has said, go straight to fair trading (or similar) not the car yard, and you will get this sorted easily.

Cut and shut case IF, the owner still has the form with the box ticked to say it is not on the WOVR. There is nothing to prove or deny. You have a form by the seller stating no, and a form from Revs or similar stating Yes. I am not sure if buy back will be an option considering how long you've had it, but compensation will be the most likely outcome.
