      Yeah SNSW since it changed from RTA is basically a circular make-work effort that means no one wants to bother doing much. In some ways the automation helped in terms of not having to show up to a front of store, but there's a lot of smaller details like this stuff which no one working about knows anything about so it doesn't get processed.
      I am genuinely happy Moog got his 180SX running, back in the early 2000's I had an S13 silvia and still miss that car in some ways, not the least that its probably worth 45k now :)

      I had a similar experience registering a car in Indiana that i owned and had registered at the time in new york state. They told me i had to make an appointment with my location police department to have them come inspect the vehicle and verify it wasnt a stolen car or the parts on it hadnt been stolen. So i called and a unit shows up, signs a piece of paper with my VIN on it, and has a laugh about how it doesnt mame sense to have someone who owns a vehicle have to do the steps of purchasing a vehicle in that way.

Being told "Oh no we can't do this for you until you have that", but in reality you're not able to do that until you have this. Then after you have finally sorted what has been asked for, going to a different counter to find none of it needed to happen in the first place! Stunning car in the end though, nicely done guys 😁👍

    It definitely depends on who's on the counter. I bought an Up! Recently from a VIC dealer without registration. I went to Access Canberra with my ACT roadworthy certificate and the lady behind the counter just made me declare a Statutory declaration in front of her (with her as a witness) declaring that I bought the car without plates from Victoria. Overall a very friendly experience with no hassle. Glad it all worked out in the end! Excited to see more Up content in the future 👀

    Oh man, I'm sorry about the registration stuff. I know those feels. Here in the US I had a TON of trouble trying to register a brand new car I bought out of state. I went to the DMV again and again and again, doing everything they told me to do, but each time I came back they said I either did it wrong or they tell me something new. The last time I went there I asked them to just put what I need in writing, BUT THEY WOULDN'T DO IT! He was like, "you write it down. I'm not gonna write it down." Oh man. I was so mad. I finally got it done, but, HOT DAMN they made it so ridiculously frustrating, ambiguous, and convoluted. 😡

    Ah yes, the "different person behind the counter" is a thing here in Norway as well.
    The way around that is, you ask for their name and ask to have them constantly assigned your case (car) so that everyone's on the same page through the whole process.
    100% they get nervous and don't try to give you a hard time (as they usually do).

    In all my years buying cars in Australia i've had this kind of trouble registering them only once, the last time i bought a car it was a gf8 impreza that was almost half off price without the plates, i went yeah cool ill just give it a look over and make sure its not a dodgy deal. It was fine so i got a revs check to make sure it wasnt stolen or any money owing on it, all good so i bought it and got a blue slip, passed without an issue, i went to rego it and the rms said they needed all this unnecessary info about the previous owner, i already had the receipt of purchase and all the other actually needed stuff. But now the last owner was ghosting me, no problem, down to the cop shop and fill in a statutory declaration in front of a justice of the peace to say i couldn't contact them for info, took that into rms and registered the car without another issue. It was a whole load of running around for a $500 nugget, which actually turned out to be one of the most fun cars i've ever had and kickstarted my love of subarus.

    This kind of thing is done fairly frequently in the US, where it's known as title-skipping or title-jumping. Depending on the state, the laws regarding this vary, but usually you just need the signed title document that's been signed from the previous registered owner, and if you have a bill of sale with your name on it, and if there aren't any liens on the car, you're good to register it.

I was forced to sell it back in 2004 and have regretted it ever since. I did get another a few years later but it was thrashed and I was forced to sell that one as well. Maybe someday I'll be lucky enough to get another, but it brought me a ton of smiles watching this series and seeing a car so close to my heart get revived by someone who loves and appreciates this particular model as much as I do.
