nsw green slip

[motorcycles4eva]

howdy all.. whats with the fricken green slip prices in nsw??? my xb ute had qld rego so i had to do blue slip.. anyway, did that so it's time to pay green slip for rego..
online quotes the cheapest i found was gio for approx 477... nrma was about 10 dollars different..
so i head off into the shopping centre to the nrma branch as i thought 10 bucks no big deal..
they quoted me 570 dollars for the green slip on an xb ute. when they asked the age of the youngest driver i said me.. 35 years old.
oh dear she says, it bumped up another 100 dollars.. nearly 700 for a green slip? you kidding??? no she said..
no thanks i said. went to gio and paid 540.

i thought about this with nrma. when i went to insure my ute, they quoted me nearly a grand a year with 4000 value.
i paid more i say's and have a receipt.. they said no matter they can only go from their computers...
'computer say's no...'
shannons insured it for 8k, no q's, no pics, no nothing. and cheaper yearly too..300 to be exact...

so here's me thinking about the green slip again..

it's their way of saying f off, we're not interested..bump the prices up to scare people away....

is it me or is this story true facts????
our ef fairmont ghia is with nrma so this has spun me out a bit...
