We are licensed NSW motor dealer MD 077404 (Autohaus Australia Pty Ltd), buying cars Australia-wide, Tasmania included. The business is run by a valuer who has priced cars since 1992.

The cars we buy in Launceston

Northern Tasmania is tough on a car. Winter mornings in the Tamar Valley bring fog and frost, and plenty of drives end on a gravel road. Farmers around Longford, Cressy and Evandale run dual cabs and tow trailers. Vineyard workers drive up and down the Tamar, and commuters come in from George Town and Bell Bay every weekday. Families in Legana, Prospect Vale and Kings Meadows need a mid-size SUV for school, sport and weekends away.

We buy them all, including utes like the Toyota HiLux, Ford Ranger and Mazda BT-50, and SUVs like the Toyota RAV4. 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 Launceston without the hassle

Launceston’s private market is small. A listing can sit while you screen scam messages, watch for fake payment receipts and arrange test drives with strangers. Trading in is quicker, but the figure is tied to the next car the dealer sells you. And if the car mostly sits in the garage, it may be time to sell a car you do not use.

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 happens at a time and place that suits you. The balance is paid into your bank account, and we collect the car only after you confirm the funds have cleared. Still paying it off? We deal with your lender directly and pay you any equity.

Paperwork in Tasmania

In Tasmania, the seller must lodge a disposal with the Registrar of Motor Vehicles within 7 days of the sale. That can be online through the disposal portal, on the MR116 form at Service Tasmania, by post or by email. Nothing confirms it automatically, 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.

A roadworthy is usually not needed, because Transport Tasmania lists no inspection for transferring a currently registered car. Read our guide to selling a car in Tasmania or the guide to selling a car in Australia. Then call 1800 73 55 73 and sell your car to us.
