Selling a vehicle in New South Wales
NSW does not require a roadworthy certificate for private vehicle sales — the buyer takes the vehicle as is. A PPSR check is strongly recommended before purchasing. Always verify current requirements with NSW Roads & Infrastructure (Roads and Maritime Services) as rules can change.
What 4WD buyers pay in Sydney
