Hi guys and girls,
After moving into an area that is crawling distance from everything I need I have decided to let go of my old commodore.
The issue is the odometer no longer works.
Is it illegal to sell it in its current condition?
I am in Western Australia if it matters
Well that was the plan…
Not that I doubt your word at all - I don't suppose you could point me in the direction where I could find that fact for myself. My google foo appears to be weak.
I figured you'd need to get a roadworthy certificate of some type, and this would have been one of the things that was covered, but on looking now, I can find nothing that suggests you have to get one in WA to transfer a vehicle. Is that correct? If that's the case there's nothing stopping you from selling it as-is.
Here in WA as far as roadworthy goes, your good until the cops yellow sticker you.
And never ever let a 2nd hand car lapse in registration.
Sounds like the speedo cable is broken. They are fairly cheap & easy to replace.
Firstly take it to a mechanic and see if it is a simple fix. As someone said it might just be a cable that needs replacing.
If that fixes it great. Then list it and sell it. If they can't fix it advertise it registered but "as is".
Yes you can sell it. Of course it is undesirable though.
Yes, no roadworthy required in WA.
Yeah I spose I could - my main issue is cost/effort of getting the car fixed up vs what I could get for it in its present state.
You sound very vague with your answers is the car worth anything! What year is it?
I wasn't trying to be vague - The concern was the legality of the odometer thing and I wasn't trying to sell it here I figured the other details were not required.
The thing needs some work/tlc and car values are not exactly my forte.
plenty of cars are sold in Perth without a speedo working.
how old is the commodore and how much do you think its worth needs to be asked before you consider booking it in for repair?
Only if you're selling it registered.
