G'day I need to get a RWC inspection done on my fiesta to change it into my name from another family members..
Cheapest I have been quoted is $150 from the local Ford dealer (Echuca) what is everyone else paying and does anyone know somewhere cheaper to get it done?

Most testers are now asking between $150 and $200 in my area due to the extra work they have to do etc since the new rules were introduced

Mine cost $180 for a V8 'mont back in November. It varies depending on engine size I think and it's all the extra work the tester has to do now due to the new rules that has pushed the price up so dramatically.

what kind of family member? if it's your partner, you don't need a rwc, if it's a sibling or parent then you do.

here is a list of fee/rwc exemptions:

one of the few good things about NSW is we have a fixed price for RWC, statewide.

That is a good thing, but then again it is once a year in NSW.

Here in Vic some cars may have only had 1 RWC in its whole life.
