Selling a car in Vic with no RWC.

[Bearman]

One of our family fleet will be up for sale soon. We'd like to sell it registered but with no RWC if possible. I know VicRoads says "no", it either has to be with a RWC or unregistered as is.

Looking at the scenario we'd sell it registered, do the paperwork etc but have no RWC. The buyer would then submit the paperwork and "forget" to put in the RWC. My understanding is that VicRoads will then write to the buyer and give them 30 days to lodge the RWC otherwise the rego will be cancelled. If the buyer gets the RWC and submits it within the 30 days then all's sweet.

Is this still the case?? Has anyone here recently bought a car in these circumstances?? Was there any comeback from VicRoads??

Also, have any sellers copped any flak from VicRoads for doing this? Obviously if they have copped grief from VicRoads we won't go down this path.

Very interested to hear from anyone with meaningful advice. Feel free to reply via PM if privacy is a concern.
