Do I need RWC to sell my car?

[defect]

i just read somewhere that i might get fined for selling it without a RWC so i thought i'd ask just to make sure =)

What have you been reading and where?
I think a written receipt will do. The receipt should just say you (seller) have sold the car to (buyer) of (address) for the of ($price)
include details such as each others license numbers, address and good idea to date it and keep a copy each.

[EK1.6LCIV]

it is illegal to sell a regoed car without displaying the road worthy at all times

[G-Stick]

really? but heaps of cars are sold and posted forsale without rwc on carsales

[EK1.6LCIV]

if u do get pulled up for advertising your car, like for example

"call if interested" on the back of a car

a cop sees it, flags u over, u dont have that blue form in vision, u cop a good fine

when its regoed

[dc2dc2dc2]

no law against selling a car without rwc

[EK1.6LCIV]

there should be as most will never be able to be fixed up to meet requirements (cheaply anyhow, lol)

and if they do its usually thanks to a dodgey guy who doesnt check much lol

which concludes why I hate imported Nissans as many ppl go that route, where they find a dodgy mech who doesnt give a shit and stamps accordingly

fk if I was in the courts I would inforce huge penalties for such actions lol

To transfer a registered vehicle, a current Victorian Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) is generally required however some exemptions are available.

Transfers may be exempt from particular requirements. Some common exemptions are:

•trailers under 4.5 tonnes GVM are exempt from a Certificate of Roadworthiness and motor vehicle duty

•recreational motor cycles are exempt from Certificate of Roadworthiness
•beneficiaries of deceased estates with will or without will may be exempt from transfer fees and/or Certificate of Roadworthiness and/or motor vehicle duty

A person who sells a registered vehicle is required to:


provide the buyer with a RWC issued not more than 30 days before the date of sale
•complete a vehicle registration transfer form with the buyer and keep a copy for their own records

A person who buys a registered vehicle is required to:

•submit to VicRoads within 14 days of the sale the completed transfer form, RWC and fees

you don't need to de-rego a car to sell it without rwc.
just post it up as $price w/o rwc.
also each state sells their car accordingly to their state rules.

Better off getting an rwc. i think its only a bit over a hundred from racq provided that it is road worthy.
transfer of rego needs a rwc and the current rego certificatee otherwise they have to buy it and re register it which is more of a hassle i think.
much worth getting the rwc and selling at a higher price.

It's illegal (read $375 fine) to sell or advertise a registered car without a Safety Certificate. They can't actually transfer the registration without.

Your only choice is to sell it completely unregistered (hand in plates) or registered with the Safety Certificate (RWC). You can of course sell it and then unregister it, but you can't hand it over with registration.

If it's unregistered, they have to obtain their own RWC and then start a new registration in which they'll be issued with new plates.

ROCK ON

thanks 90LAN =)

would it be okay to sell it without the RWC and get them to get it themselves? what'll happen if they don't get one? will we be fined?

sorry about all the questions

yes it will be ok to sell a car with no rwc and get the buyer to get it themselves..

Last year i bought a car without a rwc and i just had to deal with him and made an agreement that im purchasing his car without a rwc certificate. He also pointed out what is not roadworthy. I also couldn't transfer the name of the car to my name since the car is not roadworthy.

So as long as you let the buyer know what is not roadworthy on your car and should be done will be really helpful to the buyer!
