Buy Vehicle in Camberwell
At the time to buy or transfer a vehicle it is very important that the procedure is well organized and it complies with the VicRoads recommendations in order to do it legally.
Buying or transferring an used vehicle.
If you are going to sell/buy or transfer an used vehicle, there are some important steps you cannot miss. It is mandatory that all parts bring valid ID’s (If possible with photo) to comply with the correct identification of both parts, and to complete the vehicle`s transfer form properly.
1 - Before you buy a used vehicle it is very important that you check the Vehicles registration status. This data can be found by using the VicRoads tool available at the official VicRoads website. You may also call the number 1300 007 777. Once you have checked that the current legal situation of the vehicle is correct, and there are no tickets, unpaid bills or any abnormal situation, you can proceed to the next phase.
Step 2.
Download the Vehicle transfer form from the official VicRoads website.
In some cases a roadworthy certificate will be demanded by the VicRoads authority. Please check the VicRoads website to check the exemptions.
It will be necessary that you possess your VicRoads customer number. This number can be founded in your driver's license or in your latest registration renewal notice.
Step 3.
Buy the vehicle and complete the transfer form in the correct way. When filling this document, take your time, to avoid any mistakes. Ensure all the data is correct and don't miss any detail. The document must be signed by both parts. Be aware that this document will have to be uploaded into the system and it must be legible.
It is highly recommended that along with the transfer form, both parties fill up a receipt of purchase. After completing all the paperwork, keep a copy of all the documents in order to have a proof of the transaction.
Step 4.
Within the next 14 days after the transaction has been done, inform the VicRoads department of the sale.
The seller of the vehicle must submit the “Notice of disposal” using his/her VicRoads account to inform the VicRoads of the transaction. Once this process has been done, the vehicle will be transferred to the new owner in one day.
On the other side, the buyer must complete the online procedure using his/her VicRoads personal account and must conduct the payment of the fee to finally complete the process. If this process is not completed for both parts within the time period of 14 days, the transaction will be suspended.
Please note that all documents will be requested at this stage, and you will be asked to upload a picture or a PDF document of the transaction paperwork.
Buying a vehicle from a car dealer.
If you are buying a vehicle from a dealer, it will be the dealer's responsibility to keep you informed and accomplish all the paperwork to transfer the vehicle into your name. The seller of the vehicle will only be requested to pay the transfer fee to the dealer and correctly sign all the documents.
It is highly recommended to keep a copy or photo of the signed documents
