No rego labels in NSW

[playwme]

I think you make a valid point here Adam, if there is no rego sticker, how, (especially on a weekend) is a prospective buyer to genuinely know the registration (and TPI) status of the car?

I don't know about you but when I buy a registered car I get the current certificate of registration with the previous owners details, signature and .....drumroll....... the registration expiry date.
No rego papers = I pay no rego price.

Stickers or lack thereof won't change people who don't have the common sense to check that one small thing when buying a car.

Sure, of course, but... when implementing legislation or codes of practice, it has long been the better ideal to attempt to protect people who may ignore, or not realise their common sense (or are just innocently ignorant) . This has particularly been the case in motor vehicle trade over recent decades in Australia, it's too easy for people to get burned. I was looking at the topic more from a general community point of veiw than from just us motorheads who should know better.

My reason for continuing to comment on this thread stems from previous work in the steel/car recycling industry, and seeing some of the stuff that goes on with number plate theft, the creative uses a spare set of plates can be used for, and the crap this can cause for all and sundry, so I was just putting my two cents in.

Motor car resale hadn't occurred to me previously, however reading through the thread, it stuck me that it's another good point, without a sticker, the clarity (for a confused or non-discening buyer) is, to my mind, reduced.

But anyway, earlier in this thread I pointed out that a likely outcome of this development is increased number plate theft, thats really why I have a disagreement with it.
