Selling requirements

What are the legal requirements when selling your car privately? New laws introduced in January 2009 now require the seller to forward the disposal notice to a Transport SA service centre either in person or by post within 14 days of the sale. Failure to comply with this requirement will incur an expiation fee of $160.

Hi Richard,

As you say, the State Government doesn't refund the Emergency Services Levy when you get a refund on your vehicle registration.

To be fair, you should be refunded the portion of the levy you haven't used, otherwise you're paying more than other motorists.

I'm just going through this process now. My Magna died 1 day after the rego was renewed. I cancelled the rego and find that the emergency services levy is not refunded. So when I register my new(second hand)car this week I have to pay it again! Why is this? Don't the government get enough out of us motorists? Can't we do something about this?

Got a motoring question?
