Is200 ---> Is300; buying is300

i need help.
i have is200 and my bro wants to have it.
so i am looking at purchasing is300. more powerrrrr



above is300 has full history, looks clean and no accident.
but in QLD!!

What happens if i buy this is300 from QLD and bring it down to NSW?

it says 'plates not included.....', does that mean i have to get new plates before i drive down to sydney?

and change the plates again and rego it in sydney??

Can someone recommend me reputable mechanic in QLD to check the car like ISMotorracing in sydney?

Will C-west bodykit that was on sales in SLAES Forum fit??
IS300 has two bits sticking out on the bumper.....

thanks :lol:

If you buy that IS300 QLD decide how you want to bring it back. You can get it transported down back to NSW or you can do the driving back down urself.

If the plates aren't included you need to deregister the car first in QLD then get a grant from the QLD RTA (don't know what they're called) to be able to travel across to NSW without plates on the car. The other alternative is that you drive the car back to NSW with the plates on the car and send them back to the owner or you give them into the RTA (not sure about the last option).

You definitely need new plates when u get back to Sydney. So prepare some money on the side for your ctp, pink slip and rego! i think you'd be needing a blue slip too??? correct me if im wrong someone

I'm pretty sure the C-West kit will fit! All the americans have them on their cars. The two things on the front bumper are just headlight cleaners/washers that spray water onto the headlights. But if u can live without them no problems! I used to use them when i drive past my mates to get them wet haha

hmm interesting... Maybe he was going to trade it in and instead he'd rather sell it to someone for the trade in price rather than giving the dealers the pleasure??? I know many who have done so!

Is that red book value??

Fark thats a steal!

I only purchased mine under 12 montsh ago and paid a lot more then that! admittly yours has a lot more kays, but it still looks like a clean car!

The C West kit will fit fine. The two knobbly thinsg you seen on the front bumper are headlight washers for the xenon headlights. I have never used em, and never needed to, so you can go without, but all you have to do is when you fit the cwest bumper is cut two holes for the washers to slot into.

As stated you will have to re register the car in nsw, its a pain in the arse!

Normally in cases such as this who is selling a car with personalised plates, he will get a new set of plates before he sells the car.

ive seen this car driving around up here. last time i saw it it had a car full of guys cruisin around in it. lol. looked like a massive family in it with all the windows down. haha!

by the way me and a mate just brought a car from vic and we live in qld and we had to drive back with no plates on the whole way but we had a pass things from vic transport so if we got pulled over (which we didnt) we just showed the cops the slip. just go to your transport department and they will tell you everything you need to know.
LXTASY to you I say goodbye, but have fun in someone else's life.

I cant believe a Govt body would let you drive a car with no plates when you think of the fact they could lose potential revenue raising $$'s if you happen to drive through one of the many 100's of speed cameras en route from Vic!!!!

They do everything but compression check, it isin't hard to get someone to do this either.
They will find everything, very thorough had the same done on mine, i believe it comes with some sort of warranty too.
After checking it they will provide you with a full sheet indicating everything as well as a number of the person who checked it and you can call them up and have a chat and talk about their comments, money well spent for peace of mind.
