Buy Vehicle in Melton
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.
There are some important steps you cannot miss if you are going to sell or transfer an used vehicle. To comply with the correct identification of both parts, and to complete the vehicle`s transfer form properly it is very important that all parts bring valid ID’s (with photo if possible).
Guideline to sell or transfer an used car:
Step 1.
The first step before you buy a vehicle is to check the Vehicles registration status. You can access this data by using the VicRoads available at the official VicRoads website, or by calling the number 1300 007 777. Once you have checked that the current legal situation of the vehicle is correct, and that it hasn't had any abnormal issues, 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.
3 - Proceed to buy the vehicle and complete the transfer form in a correct way. To avoid any mistakes, take your time when filling this document, ensure all the data is correct and don't miss any detail. Bear in mind that this document will have to be uploaded to the system and it must be easily legible.
The document must be signed by both parts.
It is strongly recommended that along with the transfer form, both parties agree and complete a receipt of purchase. After this, keep a copy or take a photo 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, you won't have to do much, as it is 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 have to pay the transfer fees to the dealer and sign all the applicable documents.
It is recommended to always keep a copy or photo of the signed documents.
