Just do it the way Cuppa and Vic Roads suggest, hand in the plates and sell it unregistered.
Selling on the presumption that he will get RWC, complete the transfer etc is fraught with danger.
The car is still registered to you if something goes pear shaped
What safety guarantee does it give you even if you sell the car with the RWC?
RWC is valid for good thirty days.
Buyer driving off your car(now his car) with the RWC and transfer papers can still keep it driving under your name for thirty days.
Lot can happen in thirty days, or at least the day the car was sold.
Only safety I can think of is to put the date and time of the sale on the transfer papers and a receipt and make sure the buyers signature and details are in those papers. If the buyer commit some criminal activity, etc with the car still registered under your name can still get you into trouble, but you can at least produce the paper to prove your innocence.
The best safeguard I can think of is to go to the Vicroads with the buyer and complete the transfer process there, which non of us paranoid enough to go through.
That is the only way I can think of guaranteeing the seller's safety, though it's a fair bit of an overkill.
