Selling Your Car

[Modena]

Guys,

Need quick advice. I want to sell my car. What happens with Vic Roads? Can someone run me down the process of selling your car and what parts Vic Roads play? Any hidden costs, whos responsibility it is to register the car with new plates and so on? My rego finishes in August.

All you need to do is fill out your part of the transfer papers and provide a road worthy certificate from what I can remember. There should be two copies of the transfer papers, one for the seller and one for the buyer.

He/she just takes the papers with the road worthy to vic roads to transfer names. They don't have to purchase the new rego until it expires or nearing the expiry date. The stamp duty will cost I think 10% of the purchase price? Not too sure. The stamp duty cost $54 for my car. Bought the car for $500.

Quite a few people right down a lower purchase price for a cheaper stamp duty, but I assume is illegal.

Edit: It's not legal to let the buyer get the road worthy certificate. You must get the road worthy for the buyer or cancel the rego if you can't. Something along the lines of that. Can't remember.

yep - what adam said

what we did to sell our old cars was, we sold it with rego - butwe had the buyer sign a declaration that they will get rwc, and got their liscence details etc.....

vic roads rules are now stricter for rwc - if there is rust, basically ur farked.....

Currently I have my personalised number plates on my car, i used to have generic ones. Can i take off my personalised plates, put back the generic ones, call vic roads tell em to update the plates change and then sell the car with RWC and rego with the generic plates?
