Buying in WA and worried the car’s still paying off someone else’s jet ski? Do a PPSR check: grab the VIN, head to the national PPSR service, and for about $2 you’ll get a certificate showing any finance (security interests), write-off, or stolen status.
Cross-check the rego status with WA’s Department of Transport search so the plates aren’t on holidays without you. Don’t hand over a cent until the PPSR is clear and, if it’s a private sale, you’ve sighted ID and a written payout letter/receipt if finance is being settled.
Take a dated screenshot or save the PDF like it’s your new best mate—because it is. Then enjoy the new wheels without inheriting someone else’s debt hangover.
