Free Western Australia ATV Bill of Sale
A Western Australian quad might live on a pastoral station the size of a small country, or on a hobby block outside Perth, and the gap between those two machines is enormous. WA also has more distance between buyer and seller than anywhere else, which means the bill of sale often has to do work no inspection or handshake can: describe a machine the buyer may be committing to before they have seen it. Write it as though the buyer is a thousand kilometres away, because they may well be.

Western Australia ATV Bill of Sale — What You Need to Know
Stamp Duty / Tax Details
Stamp duty on private motorcycle sales is $2.75 per $100 of dutiable value (same rate as cars) for values up to $25,000. Duty is assessed on market value if the stated price is below prevailing Redbook guide values.
Inspection / Roadworthy Requirements
No pre-sale roadworthy certificate is required for private motorcycle sales in WA. Buyers are advised to arrange an independent mechanical inspection before purchase.
Western Australia ATV Sale — Step-by-Step Checklist
- Identify the machine fully: make, model, year, engine capacity, VIN or frame serial number.
- Record the hour meter reading and the true service history — the buyer may be too far away to inspect.
- Describe the terrain it has worked: pastoral station, coastal sand, hobby block. WA conditions differ enormously.
- Photograph the machine and its serial number, and attach the images to the file.
- Agree the transport in writing: who moves the quad, at whose cost, across WA distances.
- Run the PPSR search (~$2) and write an explicit as-is declaration.
- Both parties sign and keep copies.
Common Pitfalls
- Selling to a remote buyer with a thin written description and no photographs.
- Leaving transport cost and responsibility unwritten across WA distances.
- Failing to state the terrain the machine has worked — sand and station country punish a quad differently.
- Skipping the PPSR check.
Pro Tip
In WA the buyer may never see the quad before committing. Write the description, take the photos, price the transport, and run the PPSR.
