We are licensed NSW motor dealer MD 077404 (Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd), and we buy cars right across Australia, Tasmania included.

We also buy cars up north in Launceston, on the North West Coast in Devonport, and anywhere else in Tasmania.

The cars we buy in Hobart

Hobart is a hilly city with proper winters. Steep streets in West Hobart and Sandy Bay, frosty mornings and weekend drives up kunanyi/Mount Wellington or down to the Huon all suit a capable all-wheel-drive. Commuters cross the Tasman Bridge or come down the Brooker Highway every weekday. Tradies run utes across Glenorchy and the Eastern Shore, and farms in the Huon and Derwent valleys keep a dual cab working.

We buy late-model SUVs, utes and prestige cars of every make. That includes the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5, Toyota HiLux and Mercedes-Benz GLC. We are buying cars 2021 or newer with 100,000 km or less. Older, or more kilometres? Send it through anyway and we will tell you straight away if we can help.

Selling a car in Hobart without the hassle

Hobart’s private market is smaller than the mainland capitals, so the right buyer can take a while. Meanwhile there are scam messages to screen, fake payment receipts to watch for and test drives to fit around work and the weather. A trade-in is quicker, but the figure is tied to the next car the dealer sells you.

When you sell your car to us, you accept the offer on the call, and a deposit is often paid the same day. The inspection follows, at a time and place that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account, and we arrange collection only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Car still under finance? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity, so selling a car under finance is straightforward.

Paperwork in Tasmania

In Tasmania, the seller must lodge a disposal with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles within 7 days of the sale. You can do it online through the disposal portal, on the MR116 form at Service Tasmania, by post or by email. There is no automatic confirmation, so check with Service Tasmania about a week later that the car is out of your name. When you sell to us, we prepare the sale paperwork and make sure your disposal is done correctly.

You usually do not need a roadworthy to sell a registered car to a licensed dealer. Read our guide to selling a car in Tasmania and the wider guide to selling a car in Australia. Then call 1800 73 55 73 and sell your car to us.
