Seems odd - why do I constantly see vehicles for sale on ebay in the wrecks section - from Qld that do not have safety certificates.

Sorry does not make sense.

NO.......If the vehicle is registered it must have a safety cert. Otherwise it is a "As is , where is" sale. Unregistered vehicles can be sold but it is a case of buyer beware!

It's really a bit crazy.
If you transfer a NSW registered car to Queensland you have to get a Safety Certificate which costs $50.
In NSW , safety certificates ( at $30) are required for registration every year after 4 years old whereas in Qld never.
I think one could convincingly argue that the whole thing is a waste of time and money.
Hey but the nice young lady at Mt Gravatt registry bought my argument that a Vitara convertible was NOT a utility, and gave me car rego, where in NSW it was a ute with higher rego.
Go figgure

I want to sell my son's bus which is registered in Qld but currently down here. I need a safety certificate. I want to keep the bus regoed in Qld until sold as I can do it 6-monthly and without annual inspections - and it's cheaper than here in NSW.

I assume I can't use a NSW inspection.

I may have to do it like all the eBayers - sold without rego but that makes it harder to sell.

in QLD we don't need yearly inspections here and you can register it half yearly BUT you need a QLD safety certificate to sell a vehicle if registered.
