The car is a used red 2022 Mazda, buying from a Toyota dealer.
The OEM plate says colour is 46V which I googled as soul red crystal. So obviously the car hadn’t been painted.
After the deposit I got the VicRoads report and it says colour is white. RWC issued already and still valid.
How do I go about the colour mismatch on VicRoads? Is it my problem or the dealer’s?
Thanks.
You ring VicRoads and tell them "Hey, my car is now red, not white" and they will say "ok, thanks, we will update that on our end."
Almost forgot.. information about notifying change of colour can be found on the VicRoads website (just incase some of the users thought I was posting a smartarse reply.)
Used car buyers hate this one simple trick.
Definitely Level 7b - smartarse ✅
Simple, add a poll to this thread and do whatever the poll results show.
OP is now sending bikies wearing North Face jackets to Vicroads to sort out the issue…
Does it matter that vicroads has a different colour listed?
It may flag police in the ANPR. If OP goes past and it reads out as "Mazda 3, White" and OP drives past in a red car, they may assume the car or the plates are stolen.
Oh, simples then.
Where I come from it’s a huge pain to change it because the gov’t assumes you’re covering up a stolen car or something.
Happy to call Vicroads and get it sorted
Soul red is such a nice colour. Enjoy it. Just don't scratch it.
Just don't scratch it.
Because it's white underneath??
Because it hurts the soul.
Where do you come from?
