Buying a car

  • I'll just buy a car from a dealer and get them to organise the finance to pay for it.
    It's a good idea to check out what other sources of finance are available first because getting finance through a dealer is usually more expensive.

  • Need a new set of wheels, but want to avoid getting ripped off?
    The Better Car Deals Guide tells you what you need to consider before parting with your hard-earned cash. It covers everything from where to buy a car, to obtaining finance, as well as the importance of vehicle inspections.

  • Who provides the Certificate of Roadworthiness?
    If the vehicle is registered, the seller provides the Certificate of Roadworthiness (valid for 30 days after date of issue). If you buy from a dealer then the dealer has the Certificate of Roadworthiness, Certificate of Registration and completed notice of acquisition to VicRoads within seven days of you buying the car. If you are buying an unregistered car from a private seller then you have to arrange the Certificate of Roadworthiness.
