“I recently sold my 79 series through Harrison.
He was great to work with and made the whole process straight forward.
The negotiation was also reasonable and I got a great price. I would happily use Harrison again if I needed to.”

Corrie

“We sold our Mercedes through Simon Petroulias at AutoBuy. We were an interstate customer and Simon made the whole process easy. He firstly obtained a far better price for us than our trade price. We received a cleared payment long before our vehicle was collected. Simon communicated the paperwork requirements clearly at all times. The whole process was handled very efficiently and in a most professional manner.
If you are dealing with AutoBuy we would recommend you do your business with Simon.”

Victorian car sales regulations

Transfer requirements

Private sales require a VicRoads transfer. Our team will walk you through the steps, and you only need to confirm your identity and provide accurate vehicle details.

Roadworthy certificate

Most private sales require a roadworthy certificate; AutoBuy doesn’t. You can sell without arranging one, which saves time and effort on your part.

Rego considerations

Registered cars can be transferred at the time of sale. If your car is unregistered, AutoBuy can still purchase it. However, depending on the situation, you may need to return the plates to VicRoads. AutoBuy guides you through that process.

Unique Victorian requirements

When selling a vehicle in Victoria, you’ll have to use a digital-first transfer system. Make sure you have the right licence details and identity confirmation. VicRoads may ask for an odometer reading, which AutoBuy will confirm with you during the sale.

Melbourne car selling snapshot

  • Electric Vehicles (EVs) share sits around seven and a half percent, holding up despite changes to road user taxes.
  • Buyers favour mid-size SUVs like the RAV4 and CX 5, along with fuel-saving hybrids for city traffic.
  • The Ford Ranger leads sales, while the HiLux and long-trusted models like the Camry remain popular choices for families.
  • March and the end of the financial year are peak months of selling cars in Victoria as tax timing and events drive extra demand.
  • Early EV rebates created momentum, but luxury EV uptake is still slower due to higher upfront costs.
  • Sedans are less common than before, yet remain more visible here than in Queensland or Western Australia.
  • Demand often shifts quickly among Melbourne used car buyers, especially when the cost of living or interest rates change.
