Would not recommend buying a used car from these people as they are inexperienced with no knowledge.

Buying a car without Rego or from outside its registration state

Two problems can arise when purchasing a car without Rego:

1.It is illegal to move the vehicle. Unless the buyer buys the compulsory insurance and moves it straight to a garage. Without a valid Rego the vehicle is not insured for damages caused to third parties. If you get into a accident the financial and legal consequences could be enormous.

2. You have to pass a technical inspection to register the car and this comes with the risks of expensive repairs. If possible insist that the person selling you the car obtains this certificate before you buy the vehicle.

A specific case: Western Australia

WA is the only state that accepts property transfers without having to be present in WA itself. Example: You can buy a vehicle registered in WA from NSW (or any other state). The parties follow the same procedure as if the sale took place in WA, except that the buyer must have the copies of his documents certified, provide proof of identity and send all paper by mail to DOT WA. The buyer must also provide a home address/garage address anywhere in Australia to receive the papers.
