Unregistered vehicles
An unregistered vehicle can be sold without a Certificate of Roadworthiness.

Seller’s responsibilities

cancel vehicle registration, remove number plates and return them to VicRoads. Refunds on registration are available if you cancel registration before it expires and the registration was in your name.

shouldve sorted out rwc before commiting to lowering the price.

if you listed on the ad that he has to pay for rwc, get some more money off him, go get a rwc, if theres anything that needs fixing, get him to pay for it.

otherwise, jsut cancel the rego and sell it with no rwc.

Depends if the car is advertised as registered or not. From reading that, if it's advertised as registered and no mention of the RWC, the seller is obligated to providing it.

the seller is obligated to supply a rwc if its registered the day the sale takes place, regardless of how it was advertised.

 

[rambunctious]

Simple process, three choices.
(1) Get the RWC at your expense and go ahead with the deal.
(2) Tell the buyer what the RWC will cost and get the cash before you get it done.
(3) Give him back his $100, get the RWC, then advertise the car again.

Thanks for the clarification, the buyer wants a RWC either even if it wasn't part of the deal. At his expense though not mine

So the car passed roadworthy.
For example say i brought the car, when they transfer the car into my name, does Vicroads assess the car?
Do they go over it again?

because I've been told they do, but it didn't happened to me when i transferred the car last year into my name with rego.

Its just i took the SSl's out of the car to get a roadworthy. And the bloke brought the car with the springs, so i need to put them back in.
