You pay only from the change of ownership, previous owner gets the bill for the back date.

If I were you though, I'd make sure they know that BEFORE you buy, wouldn't be the first person to have a seller strenuously demand you pay their bill when they get it.

If the registered ownership change is done within 2 months of the expiry of last licence or exemption there is nothing owing.

rego ran out feb 2011

Then it's going to be rather spendy for them if they didn't do an exemption from continuous licensing.

this is untrue I had a car the rego expired on the 4/11/11 sold it on the 15/11/11 got a bill last week for $15 to get it from the 4 to the 15th

Mate of mine did one 6 months back that was 6 weeks out of licensing and got no bill.

Whatever for!Its not the buyers responsibility to protect sellers from their own ignorance and muppetry re the operation of continuous vehicle licensing, outstanding fees are the previous registered owners responsibility and not anyone elses.You could of course mutually agree to pay the fees if the purchase price is discounted far enough but sellers should not automatically expect this of buyers.

I hear what you are saying but realisticly why should a purchaser be held responsible for all or any debt incurred BEFORE they took possession of the vehicle!

If you watch Fairgo it seems to happen quite often for fines etc.
