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 Motorcycle across VIC
Service the bike before listing
Fresh oil, clean air filter, adjusted chain and fresh brake fluid show buyers the bike has been cared for and justify a higher asking price.
Check and document LAMS status
LAMS eligibility is a major selling point for sub-660cc bikes. Verify on your state authority's website and include this in your listing.
Post on GOT ONE? targeting your buyer type
Commuter buyers, LAMS learners and touring riders have very different requirements. Match your bike's features to active buyer requests on GOT ONE?.
