The `bomb' dilemma
GETTING it to a mechanic is easy. You can either get it towed there by tow truck, or you can get a permit from VicRoads that will allow you to drive it to and from your mechanic's premises. Buying a car unregistered and without a roadworthy certificate is always a gamble, unless you can have it checked by a mechanic or a body such as the RACV before you hand over the cash. Without a thorough check, one can't possibly know what you might have to do to make it roadworthy. In your case, with more than 200,000km on it, there is probably going to be lots, which could make your bargain buy look very expensive.
