Private car sale in Australia isn’t just a handshake at the servo; you need a simple, clear contract that names the buyer and seller, with addresses and licence numbers.
Include the vehicle’s VIN, rego, make/model/year, odometer, the agreed price, any deposit, and the exact handover date/time.
State that it’s sold “as-is” unless you’ve promised something in writing, confirm there’s no finance owing, and note any included items (spare keys, accessories) or known defects.
Both parties should sign and swap IDs, do a quick PPSR check for encumbrances, and attach a roadworthy or safety inspection if required in your state.
Give each party a copy and lodge the transfer with your state road authority pronto—because fines love the wrong owner like seagulls love hot chips.
