To highlight a couple of points here:
Here in NSW your car doesn't need a separate RWC if it is under 3yrs old;
If your car is going to cost an exhorbitant amount to RWC, then do what i used to do - buy another cheap one with 10 to 12 mths rego (will probably cost similar if you include rego and CTP to your current car);
Our "Pinkslip" is approx. $30;
The average national fleet age is currently 10yrs old. This has drastically lowered since the introduction of compulsery RWC for rego.
This should lower the average age and raise the level of passive and active vehicle safety of the national fleet. Before you all slap me, I grew up with and still love some older cars, but you'll find that the enthuisist will still keep them and "Joe Blo" will buy newer cars.
