Hi

I recently received my CTP renewal for my 1997 Sierra Hardtop. NRMA had increased the premium by $250 to about $750. I checked the MAA site and found AAMI was cheaper but after visiting their site there was a difference in the quoted premiums. After a phone call to AAMI I was told that the shape of my Sierra should have been a PVF (panel van four wheel drive) not a PVS (panel van with windows and seats). When the body shape was changed the quote was back to $480. I was advised to follow up this issue with the RMS. Another phone call had the rego changed from PVS to PVF. I received my rego papers today from the RMS. Last year $243, this year $126.

I thought I'd pass this on, as I am sure I am not the only Sierra owner in NSW with this category (PVS) on their rego papers. The RMS were quite happy to change the classification.

My old fj40 was classed as a 2 seater ute, even tho had factory seat mounts in the back and a factory bench seat in the front with 3 seat belts, only way to change it as mr rta told me was to go get it engineered

on my first insurance policy on the sierra (as a P plater) mine was a:
4wd, Soft Top, Utility, Sports Car.

Apparently anything with less than 5 seats is a sports car. lol

Hi Santos

My '97 hardtop is stock standard and has back seats. My RAV4 is classified as a PVF.

Every hardtop Sierra sold in NSW (except for the very early 1.0 Sierras) has been factory fitted with 4 seats, and shown as such on the compliance plate. Why should the official description NOT be PVS?? If you, or a previous owner, has removed seats and seatbelts to change the vehicle classification you should have been required to undergo a new blueslip inspection. I have never heard of the RTA/RMS accepting vehicle classification changes by telephone before!
