Five boxes above. Photos help, but they're not needed.
Mako Automotive comes back to you quickly. No obligation.
We collect the car from your driveway anywhere in Tasmania, handle the paperwork there, and pay on the spot — bank transfer or cash. You don't bring it anywhere.
A private sale can take weeks. You pay for the ads, field calls at all hours, let strangers test drive your car, and carry the risk of a payment falling through. Selling to a licensed Tasmanian dealer takes one conversation: you get a firm offer, the paperwork is done for you, and you're paid the same day by transfer or in cash, whichever you prefer. If you still owe finance on the car, the payout can be settled as part of the sale.
Fill in the form on this page with your car's details — make, model, year, kilometres and condition — plus your contact number. Mako Automotive reviews it and comes back to you quickly with an offer. If you accept, they come to you, collect the car and take care of the paperwork and payment on the spot.
Once you accept an offer and the paperwork is signed, you are normally paid on the spot — the same day, or the next business day at the latest. Bank transfer is the usual way and the money is in your account straight away, but Mako Automotive can pay you in cash instead if you would rather have it in your hand. Say which you prefer when you talk, and it is sorted before you leave. There is nothing to wait on and no cheque to clear.
It depends on the make, model, year, kilometres, condition and service history. Send those details through and Mako Automotive will give you a figure based on what cars like yours are actually selling for locally, not a generic online estimate.
No. Getting an offer is free and there is no obligation to accept it. If the number does not suit you, you are free to walk away.
Yes, and it is very common. Mention the finance when you send your details through — the payout figure can be handled as part of the sale so the loan is cleared at settlement, and anything left over is paid to you.
Most sellers bring the car in for a quick look, but if that is difficult, say where the car is when you send the details — for sellers anywhere in Tasmania, Hobart and the south included, pickup can often be arranged as part of the sale.
Your registration papers or proof of ownership, photo ID, both keys if you have them, the service books if any, and — if there is finance on the car — a payout letter from the lender. The transfer paperwork itself is handled at the yard.
Utes, 4x4s, SUVs, hatchbacks, sedans, wagons and vans, any make. Older cars, high-kilometre cars and cars with finance owing are all worth sending through — Mako Automotive looks at each one on its merits.
Selling to a dealer is faster and safer: no ads to pay for, no strangers coming to your home, no test drives with people you do not know, and no risk of a payment falling through. A private sale can sometimes fetch more, but it takes far longer and carries more risk.
