QLD costs to budget for beyond the car loan

Stamp duty. Queensland sets vehicle duty by engine type, not just price: hybrids and EVs pay $2 per $100 of value, 1-4 cylinder vehicles $3, 5-6 cylinders $3.50 and 7 or more cylinders $4, with higher rates above $100,000. On a $40,000 four-cylinder car that works out to $1,200 in duty; the same car as a hybrid would be $800, and a V8 $1,600.

Registration and CTP. Queensland bundles CTP with registration: you nominate a CTP insurer when you register and pay it all on one bill. A private four-cylinder car costs about $865 to $878 for 12 months all-in (registration, traffic improvement fee and CTP).

Worth knowing in QLD. Both duty and rego scale with cylinder count in Queensland, so a V8 pays about a third more duty and roughly $470 a year more registration than a four-cylinder. Engine choice changes the on-road cost more here than anywhere else.
