Average cost of re-registration?

[Dirtydog]

Hey folks i might have my hands on a cheap navara, had a look over it and from what i can tell its got a good chance of passing a warrent, only thing is that the rego has lapsed.

Theres only rust on the seals on windows, no rust (that i can tell) apart from the tub, which has been dented and boged over soo many times not suprised its not worse than it is.

Other option is of corse getting a rolled navara/terrano and swapping bodies etc.

most likely over $750 as it's a re vin.. thats the biggest cost.. also the check they do is WAY more intense.. GL

What year is it?
a pre 1993 inspection is cheaper than post 1993 as they have less checks to do with brakes, seatbelts ect, as a guide I did a surf recently with 6 months rego was $812 it was a post 93 type

Its a 1989, so it may only cost a grand?

theres a bit that needs doing to it, i.e driveshaft, etc but it would be a cheap navara for that still, i think most are around 5k at least.

check for the rust behind front seats and rear seat seat belts mounts, it is a major issue and even mentioned on wof forms etc

Ill have a good look, i may be able to do some work for it rather than paying cash, so getting pretty excited, always wanted a navara.

Do the worry about the tub? its pretty well used, dents and lots of rust, if so can i just take it off for re vin etc?

Ryto had a good look at the cab and cant find any rust in said areas, is there anything else i should be looking at?

also, how does it go with paperwork etc in terms of change of ownership?

your terrano will never get finished if ya keep starting new projects all the time. lol

[Dirtydog]

I know but its on hold at the moment till i sort out a car.

Theres a fair bit more i want to do to the truck before cert either way, like winch, bullbars etc, which i would rather get through one cert than 5.

How much have you put in to it so far??

$11,000 for the gearbox/solid axle alone??!!

Yeah but it's still worth $3500

Still I have room to talk, my POS owes me over $50k, and I could still get 5 grand for it, maybe

Where did you get that figure from?

I paid 3k for the work, and about 2.5k for the parts, got the truck for about 800 bucks worth of overdue rego.

but i didnt start this thread to have a talk about my terrano, or anyone else, i wanted to know the cost of getting a navara re registered.

And this is not another project, this is a vehicle to drive around and use for firewood etc.

Ring or go down to VTNZ and ask.

Your build thread. Sorry, it says $8000 not $11000. Rule of threes and all that.

if its had any welding or crash repairs done they may ask for an engineers inspection, especially if its of a structual nature.

Check, leaking hoses on steering, all bushes and boots + would be worth getting a brake check done first if you can get it to a Wof station.

[Dirtydog]

it will be going up on a hoist next week so will have a chance to have a look at that stuff aswell.

I know the power steering is losing fluid somewhere, but brakes seem fine, will check them anyway.

Cheers for the help guys, i will start another thread with the progress for anyone else that wants to know the processes. (if i get the navara)
