Selling a bus in Perth isn’t rocket science, but it does require adult-level paperwork. Start with a deep clean, fix the obvious faults, and gather service history, VIN, rego details, and any compliance or modification plates. Photograph everything (seating layout, wheelchair lift if fitted, bays) and price it using comparable WA listings, not your nostalgic attachment. List on Tradingpost with clear specs—seat count, GVM, engine/transmission, odometer, and whether it’s charter, school or motorhome-ready. For test drives, check the licence class and make sure insurance covers you, then stick to a planned route. In WA, complete the transfer with the buyer via the Department of Transport’s online service and give a signed receipt; plates usually stay on the vehicle while the buyer handles stamp duty and insurance. If it’s ex-commercial or heavy, a recent inspection report reassures buyers and can nudge the price north.
