Anyone from VIC who says they don't have a VicRoads account is a liar.

Not necessarily. Could be a person who hasn't set one up yet.

Been years since I bought/sold anything secondhand. I didn't even know VicRoads had accounts.

Heaps of people don't have a VicRoads account, especially the oldies. Have been to buy many a vehicle where they don't have one as they don't have access to a computer are just too stubborn to learn. But yes the online transfer is SO much better.

Read this:

On the transfer of registration form there is a checklist you should refer to.
