Buying a used car? Putting it in my name?

I'm about to buy a cheap $700 ford festiva coupe 1998 model. What extra payments will be involved? And ideas of what cost I might have to pay. Like rego etc.

Costs to register a vehicle depend on where you live. Not all states/provinces/territories, and countries charge the same amount.

On top of that, you have to be ready to maintain a very old, very cheaply built, Korean car. Those cars were built to last about long enough to drive off the lot, they have a horrible reliability record. You can plan on $2-500 a year just for repairs, more for maintenance.

If its unregistered you need to pay that you will need to pay RWC roadworthy/roadtest to registered it and stamp duty of 4% of price to Vicroads, RTA or which state your in is called transportation (state)

  • I'm buying a used vehicle today, Does it need to be inspected again? I'm buying a 1999 Ford Taurus today from a Private owner. The owner has had the vehicle inspected months earlier, and the car passed and is currently running fine. Does the car need to be reinspected once I buy the car to get my own tags on it?
  • What to look for when buying a used 2004 Ford Mustang? I'm going to look at a 2004 Ford Mustang this week. It has 101,000 miles on it. If I but it it will be my first car, so I want to make sure that it is in great shape and won't break down in me. Check the link and tell me if it is a good deal. What do I look for when inspecting it? Thanks! http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/4454973116.html
  • What did you name your mustang or what is your mustangs name? I just bought a 2006!dark blue Ford Mustang and I named it Sally. She's named after the first bar I ever went to which is called Mustang Sally's, and it happen to be my favorite bar. What did you name yours or what is yours named?
  • Do you think buying a used certified truck from a rental car company is a good idea? I was looking to buy a certified ford f150 from a respectable dealership. It has the certified warranty with it. It is a 2017 with 17,000 miles on it. It came from enterprise rental cars. Do you think the car was beat up as its time as a rental car or it being a certified car they would have found its problems.
