This is how to do it...
1. Inspect and make sure you're happy.
2. Buy it and get a receipt from the seller.
3. Do not transfer it into your name in the other state, its a waste of time/money.
4. When it gets to WA (yes, when it hits the border) it will be technically unlicensed
5. I assume you will get it truck/trained, so when you pick it up you will need a temporary movement permit.
6. Drive to the pits and get it inspected.
7. Take "passed inspection" form to licensing center with sufficient ID, your receipt and as many other things for "proof of purchase" as you can.
8. Pay for 12 (or 6) months license, and the WA transfer fee. If you dont pay on the day, it will be unlicensed until you do.
9. You may also have to sign a stat-dec stating who you bought the car off. Make sure you have their details handy.
10. Put on plates and drive home.

Phew... Thats the shit I just went through for Suzie STI from Adelaide.

A few facts (ignore what others 'think' they know)
1. The car will be unlicensed unless you reside in another state and have
owned it for 12 months. This includes if it has the previous owners plates. So if you drive it here on the old owners plates and have a crash you are screwed.
2. When you get the insurance "cover note" they will want a license plate, tell them the interstate plate so its covered for transit.
3. You MUST have a temp movement permit when you take it to the pits. Sometimes they ask for it. Its cheap, lasts 48 hours, and can be ordered over the phone.
4. Make sure you inspect it, AND do a REVS check in the state you are buying it.
5. Don't bother with transfer in other state. Just get a written receipt from previous owner and the license papers.
6. If buying from a dealer, they may throw in shipping back to Perth and organise it for you. Mine did, so very convenient.

I just read that you are looking to drive it back...$$$$ on fuel.
1. As soon as you leave VIC and enter SA it will be unlicensed. You will need a temp movement permit from the SA police to drive it through the state.
2. As soon as you get to WA, you will need a temp movement permit from the WA police.
3. Without the permits, you are not insured for third party injury and the police will rape you if you get caught.
4. Not having correct permits also means RAC, SGIO or whoever you have with the cover note will pull their cover if you have an accident due to you driving it illegally.



If I think of anything else I will post it up.
