Cars Buy In Melbourne

[arbalest]

I am thinking of buying a used car from a private seller. What things do I need to do like Rego etc, also is it better to buy from a dealer? This guy is giving me RWC as well, the Rego expires Feb 09, how do I renew it and do I need to have a VIC licence to do this or buy the car? I have an overseas licence, any help will be greatly appreciated!!

hi ARX, have you read the info on the vicroads website?

i think there is also some useful info on the consumer affairs website:

its better to buy from a dealer than a private seller but more expensive because normally you get warranty from dealers and with private sellers its sold as seen(no taking it back when and if it breaks down).

I think Vicroads send renewal notices to the car owner's address a few weeks before the Rego expires to remind them to renew it.

Temporary residents or visitors are allowed to buy cars and drive them as long as they have a valid licence from certain countries for their duration of stay in MLB as far as I know
