look up the vicroads site and it will indicate from which states they require more than just a rw to be done. From memory Tas and qld were two, these may have changed.

Can't recall what the extra checks were for and would presume if buying a registered and reasonable state vehicle there are not going to be too many hassles - But we are talking about Vicroads.

If the extra work is for more in-depth engineering I suggest you find an amenable engineer to work with. Again worth pressing the club boys for contacts here.

I'm using Enkelmans but I suspect they are fairly straight down the line and more conservative than you may need in such a situation - however you never know.

Peterp,

Bought mine in WA. Process was simple rang Vic Roads they told me proof of rego and RWC needed and they would transfer. No hassles.

Also rang several other Vic Roads divisions to ensure it was consistent. (Amazing I got a similar story). Would be worth ringing head office to ensure you dont have any hassles. They were reasonably helpful when I rang.

Car delivered Friday, new windscreen Saturday, Roadworthy completed by the following Wednesday rego Thursday. Away we go!!!!!!

Would be worth getting a roadworthy from either someone you deal with regularly or you can trust and can work with you to make sure car is RWC

Cheers
