Just a quick one seeing as I have not owned a 6 cyl car in QLD for some time.
Whats the cost of rego for a 6 cyl these days? 6 month preferable. Yes I know it will pend what CTP insurer you're with.

$1080? That can't be for a six, surely... Unless they are going by number of cylinders in conjunction with GVM these days?? Which would explain why my dub is substantially "cheaper", being the spry wee thing that it is... I still believe it's too much... I like the sound of $112 a year much more.

About $1000 for my V8 EF these days. Unreal.
But it's worth every cent when I turn the key each morning. Mike

That makes me a bit angry, and then they hide behind the green card saying that it will discourage people buying v8s to save the earth.... All the while we pay more tax through the extra fuel consumption...which is fine its our choice but the rego difference is silly.

Dont know where you get the 50% discount for being a pensioner
My normal rego for my BA Ghia six is $827 for 12 months the Mrs has a Territory Ghia and it is $605 on pensioner rego I am on an old age pension like her but here in the sunshine state you can only have one pensioner registered vehicle per address god help you in an old ladies retirement home with 100 people there thats with third party but not transfer fee if its the first rego also here in QLD as far as I know there is no discount for living in the outback also for a V8 its over $1000 and if its a V8 ute you better have a big bank account because ute drivers are hoons so expect to pay more try $3k for a body truck or $15k for a road train Im flat out paying two regos thanks John Last edited by last fairlane; 13-11-2013 at 07:50 PM.

Mate seriously its just utter price gouging.......I dont know who's supposed to be running the show properly i voted libs and have seen NO changes yet.....
Abbott has just said he's going to cut power bills by a whole $200 per year....What a bloody joke! Just waiting for the day Petrol goes to 1.60 and over.....That'll really screw it all up! The only way i can see out of it is solar power system, lpg cars, led light bulbs, and anything that can cut costs down? A mate explained the power situation like this..... They privatised the power companies and prices went up so consumers started using less, so the companies put the prices up again, and the consumers used even less again and so on it goes...Now its just beyond the joke!

For rego up here it damn well is.
When I first registered my First V8 Fairlane it was $697 a year. 2005 that was. Now I just paid 520 for six months. Its pure BS. I personally know that the "Registration" Fee in the registration doesnt cost $300 to push a few buttons on a computer to change the dates of someones rego & send out a sticker. Thats around a cost of $300 for what? A top of 5 mins work? Probably closer to 1 min of work?

For comparison mine is 3br home, with 2 adults and 2 kids. Electric hwu, electric oven and hotplate. My biggest bill is about the same as yours, so it's no cheaper. House and contents is a killer where I live. Close to $3k a year because I live in a cyclone area. Hoping to move further south soon!

Used to be 400 for me a quarter but now have a wood heater that I feed from my back yard, and 6.9 kw solar system.
Poor buggers with grid power up here will be getting rises of 20% from these ********* in government. Rego would now be the dearest in Australia. Even our fuel is nearly always a couple cents a litre dearer QLD being a cheaper state to live in fast becoming a falicy |

and don't forget that POS Newman is ramping up prices of the generation to kill electricity users even more.
He has also increased the fines, the tolls, taken away levies that were funding Ausfish and now paying fishery staff. and that's just a few. Don't just single out Beattie. Politicians in this country owe us all an apology for the **** they put us through. They're all a bunch of money grubbing lowlifes that only join politics to retire very fat and very wealthy. |

Speaking of 6 cylinder rego. My old XR5T had to have 6 cylinder rego. Of course they would round up, not down.

Same as rotaries I think, pretty sure they got whacked with 6 cylinder rego, when they don't have any cylinders.
