BA XR6 Ute

Hi guys,
Got some custom plates for the ute so called Eastlink today to update my rego details and was told that it would now no longer be considered a car but a light commercial vehicle due to a new government ruling that came out that states all Utes made from 1999 onwards regardless of payload capacity are now commercial vehicles? Is this correct, it's always been classified a car for as long as I've had it? Its an xr6 with a styleside body and a hardlid so I have **** all in the back and never tow a trailer so it doesn't weigh anymore than a car, nor would ever carry more weight then a fully loaded sedan with the family and a caravan heading down the road on a holiday. Could mean a trip now costs 19.20 as opposed to 11.88 which adds up significantly over a week. Where is the logic in this. Has anyone else been hit with it yet? Cheers, |
