Disputing a REVS check?
I'm in the process of selling my car, and the buyer's performed a REVS check on the vehicle which has returned an odometer reading which is 100,00km off. I have the registration information and transfer of purchase forms from the time I bought the car and registered it in early 2007, however the REVS check shows 227299 rather than 127299 on the registration form which I have.
Does anybody have any experience in this, would it be as easy as taking the supporting documentation to Queensland Transport to have the records amended? |

lols owned unless you imported the car yourself
you have no idea who could have changed before a previous sale before you owned it |

No, but the date of registration on the REVS check is the date I initially registered the vehicle.

Winding it back?
I thought he must have driven in reverse for 100,000km. |

yeah just go down to queensland transport and go 'hey c***, check this out'

^^ this.
The revs check shows the information about MY registration, on the date which I registered it, with my post code and the new numberplate which was assigned to ME. All information is correct except for the first digit off of the ODO reading - and I'm guessing that some monkey at QT has entered a 2 instead of a 1. I know what the problem is, I'm asking if anybody knows how to fix it. As it stands, Pave and Scuzzy were right - I've got to request a release of historical documents from QT, match it with my records, and take it to QT to be inspected. |

how olds the car anyway?
chances are by now kays are trivial and condition is the main agenda |

127k to 227k is a big difference, hardly trivial.

It doesn't have anything to do with this does it?
FIVE Brisbane residents are under investigation for alleged odometer tampering as the State Government warns car buyers about a recent spate of dodgy readings involving private sellers. |

Hasn't every Soarer had it's odo tweaked?
A typical ad: 1992 Soarer, 1st lady owner since import, rarely driven, used as weekender. Great condition some wear marks on steering wheel, gear lever, drivers seat and foot well. Paint is faded and patchy in areas. Twin turbo engine has had recent complete overhaul ($9,000 spent) and is rarely driven on boost. Low 24,536kms for age. $6,000ono. |

Surely QT knows how to solve it; maybe call them or visit.

dont crash it petey! (or lose your license)
as for imports, i like to believe when i had my skyline its k's were accurate (about 60000 when i got it) interior was in good condition for a smokers car, everything was straight and well maintained. i dunno, i guess some imports get fiddled with, but i reckon most of them have genuine ks when they get here. last edited by Spook at 23:13:48 02/Dec/09 |

Supposedly very easy to do according to soarer central. I reckon mine's been wound back heh.Thats because they're all jealous of people with lower KM cars than they have. |
05:46pm 02/12/09 Permalink
do you have the original safety cert when you transfered it? and the copy of the transfer paper? it will be possible to reverse it, but its gonna be a f*** around which QT normally is. well considering its only 1 digit that was entered wrong, silly mistake but possible.
and clusters are very easy to do fyi. these newer cars are getting cheeky by putting odo on the onboard computer rather than the speedo. and when the 7 series bmw's detect no cluster, the car won't charge the battery! i learnt that the hard way :P no i did not do nothing dodgy okay |

i think some of you are missing the point.. the info that comes up in revs is the info exo would have written down when he registered the car. theres no winding back, dodgy importer etc, just a typo.
goto qt, 2min fix |
06:38pm 02/12/09 Permalink
so wait.. you hand in the revs form with 100k 3 years ago and you dont suppose they will ad the km they think you have done?
i dont know how a revs check works btw but i would assume in 3 years u did drive the car |
07:22pm 02/12/09 Permalink
why not just tell them you put a second hand speedo in at some point in the last few years? I used to change my speedo over all the time (well, I changed it twice) - the first time was a unit from a wreckers, so the odo went up dramatically; but the second time was a brand new unit, so it went down.

I wonder if people are going be sus when I sell my car, its only just cracked 8000 km's in over 2 years.

so wait.. you hand in the revs form with 100k 3 years ago and you dont suppose they will ad the km they think you have done? On the REVS check its showing 100k more than it should when he first registered it. Revs dont do estimates on how much the car would be driven using time travel machines to work out how much you would have driven it at a certain point in the future when you plan to sell it. At the point of register, there was a f***up. last edited by shad at 20:04:49 02/Dec/09 |

So I am thinking about buying a second hand car.
Where is the best place to do a history check? Any good Australian websites for tracking faults in cars (last time I bought a car - 02 liberty - Subaru raped my anus with a totally f***ed clutch that they replaced under warranty like 4 times and it still isn't great) This time I would like to know if the model of car I buy has any ongoing issues like that... |

Short of pulling every internal out yourself and putting it back together i'm not sure how you're going to avoid it. I mean it's not like they can see through that metal to see teh damage inside it.
At best you can guess by the driver what kind of driving they MAY have done, you can guess by REVs cert whether its still got money owing on it, and you can check like engine compression, and a few other looks (like of engine mounts) and sounds (like knocks) by asking racq to inspect. Short of that, get the owners word and hold it to them when you buy it and service it straight away. During the service at least they should be under the car and may notice exhaust leaks and perhaps any kind of misaligned panels if you ask them to keep an eye out. If it isn't as you bought it, bring it up with the seller, but honestly as soon as you drive it they can pretty much blame you after a few k's anyway. Oh and luck. You can count on luck. Where is the best place to do a history check?What do you mean? Short of perhaps registered accidents (ones which need towing for insurance) noone keeps a history. Some may have a service record in the log books. But big brother doesn't care how people drive their cars and what parts are mechanically weak. last edited by skythra at 21:50:02 02/Dec/09 |

Well as far as faults I mean model wide faults. Like this 02 liberty, it was a common fault acknowledged by subaru.
and the history I meant a thing like REVs - just didn't know what it was called. Do all the sites do the same thing for that, standard price? |

yeah same here grundies. i sold a car once, had 4 people ring me on the same day and i got the awesome job of choose the buyer. i had the choice of whiny fat women or a local school groundsman. No prize for which one I chose. I never heard a word back from him again.
I always wonder what my old cars are getting up to now. |

I hate these threads. instead of doing your own research exo, or doing the logically thing and calling QT, you post on the internet.

I hate these threads. instead of doing your own research exo, or doing the logically thing and calling QT, you post on the internet. I already searched the QLD Government website and found nothing. I work during the times that QT answers their phones - so I couldn't call them myself. I thought that perhaps somebody on QGL had some experience on the subject or might be able to point me in the right direction. Turns out I was right. Go f*** yourself, kthx - xoxo. |
