Selling a vehicle in Victoria
Victoria requires a current Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) for all private vehicle sales — sellers must provide one before the buyer can transfer registration. Budget $150–$350 from a licensed vehicle tester. Transfers must be completed through VicRoads within 14 days. Verify current requirements at vic.gov.au.

How to sell a Car across VIC
Gather your paperwork
Collect the service logbook, registration papers, PPSR report and any warranty documents. Buyers pay more for a complete history.
Set a realistic asking price
Check recent sold listings for your make and model on RedBook and private sale sites. Price 5–10% above your minimum to allow for negotiation.
Post your car on GOT ONE?
Create a buyer request or respond to existing requests from verified buyers looking for your exact model. Your listing reaches buyers already hunting for what you have.
Handle enquiries professionally
Respond quickly, provide full information and arrange inspections at safe, public locations. Pre-purchase mechanical inspections are a buyer's right — welcome them.
Complete the transfer
Sign a transfer of registration form, complete payment via bank transfer or bank cheque, and notify your state's transport authority within the required timeframe.
