Red face Advice needed on selling a car in Qld

For all those who have been here a few years.

I am thinking about selling my X-Trail, I only use it for the school run as we have a company car with free petrol - so its ended up as expensive garage clutter ! What are the pitfalls, just thinking of the usual Aussie advert (in the back window) but what about my rego and third party insurance if I sell - do I get a refund on the insurance ? Can I transfer it to my new runabout ? Can you get a credit back on your comphrensive insurance (currently with Suncorp).

Any advice gratefully received, then I can decide what I am doing !!

Rego and CTP go with the car. No refunds.

Your comp insurance should allow a refund, if you don't transfer it to another car, but I would ring them and check first, and see what any cancellation fees are.

If you go for the advert in the back window, you must have the safety cert displayed, they've been cracking down on that on the sunny coast

On the same sort of thread,I'm selling my 92 Falcon in Victoria,I heard if you sell it for under $3000 you don't need to roadworthy it and if it's over $3000 you do,and what do you do with paperwork as I've only the paperwork from the garage and my rego sticker as way of saying it's mine?

who told you that? firstly, it seems strange that you can sell a car that is possibly a sh!tbox (otherwise why sell for under $3000) without getting it checked to see if it's worthy of being on the road, when you need one for a better car that is more liekly to BE roadworthy.

from my (limited) experience of victorian car buying/selling you always need a roadworthy unless you are selling the car without rego, same as in queensland. the validity period of a roadworthy certificate is probably different in both states.
