Short answer: it’s not ruinous, but it does nibble. In NSW you’ll pay a transfer fee (about $36) plus motor vehicle duty: 3% up to $45,000, then $1,350 + 5% of the value over $45,000. That means a $20,000 car is roughly $600 duty + $36 (about $636), while a $60,000 buy is about $2,100 duty + $36 (around $2,136). You’ve got 14 days to transfer or you risk penalties, and make sure the CTP (greenslip) is in your name before you front up. Add-ons can include plate fees if you’re keeping something fancy, but no need for theatrics unless the rego’s lapsed. For exact rates and any niche exceptions, check Service NSW before your wallet develops stage fright.
