can i sell a car without a roadworthy

Ah, the age-old question of dodging paperwork. In Australia, technically, you can sell a car without a roadworthy certificate, but good luck finding a buyer who’s not a fan of gambling on their safety (or the law). Some states, like Victoria, require a roadworthy certificate to transfer registration, so selling without one might leave you stuck with a vehicle that’s about as appealing as a flat beer. In other states, you can sell the car as-is, but the new owner will need to get a roadworthy before registering it—so it’s basically a game of pass-the-parcel. Your best bet? Be upfront, slap a “sold as is” sticker on it, and let buyers decide if they want to take the risk. For listings, try Tradingpost or CarShowroom to see how others handle it.
