selling car unregistered qld Page 181

Yes, you can sell a car unregistered in Queensland—perfect for shed finds and project dreams. You don’t need a Safety Certificate (RWC) to sell it unregistered, but the buyer will need one to register it, along with stamp duty and rego fees. Keep the plates off the road: remove any plates and use a QLD Unregistered Vehicle Permit if it must be driven for inspection or delivery. Give the buyer a receipt with VIN, price, date and both parties’ details, and follow TMR’s requirements for proof of sale. Don’t advertise it as registered unless it actually is, and don’t test-drive it on public roads without a permit unless you fancy a chat with the nice folks in blue. A PPSR check is smart for both sides and a pre-sale roadworthy inspection helps it move quicker.
