Queensland car sales regulations
Selling a car in Queensland comes with a few basic rules. AutoBuy guides you through the essentials, keeping the process simple.
Transfer rules in Queensland
You must complete a transfer through Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads. AutoBuy helps confirm the needed details so your sale stays compliant.
Roadworthy certificate in Queensland
Most private sales in Queensland require a safety certificate, but AutoBuy doesn’t. This lets you move forward quickly without organising an inspection.
Rego considerations
Registered and unregistered cars can be sold. If unregistered, you may need to surrender your plates depending on the situation. AutoBuy helps you understand what applies to your vehicle.
Unique Queensland considerations
Queensland may request an accurate odometer reading and identity confirmation during the transfer. AutoBuy guides you through each step.
