How to Sell a Damaged or Non-Running Car in Tasmania?


Have a damaged, broken-down, or non-running vehicle taking up space in your driveway? You’re not alone. Many Hobart car owners face the dilemma of what to do with a vehicle that no longer works or costs too much to repair. The good news? You can still sell it — and even get cash for it — with the right approach.

🚗 Step 1: Assess the Car’s Condition


The first step is understanding your car’s condition:

– Is it mechanically damaged or just cosmetic?

– Does it start or move?

– Is it completely written off?

– Do you still have the registration papers or keys?


Answering these helps you determine whether to sell for parts, scrap, or as-is to a car buyer.

💰 Step 2: Get a Quote from Hobart Car Buyers


We specialize in buying:

– Accident-damaged cars

– Engine-failure or blown-head cars

– Flood-damaged or fire-damaged vehicles

– Non-running cars of all makes and models


Simply call or fill out our quote form. We’ll assess your vehicle based on its condition, make, and model, and offer a competitive cash quote — no obligation.

🛻 Step 3: Schedule Free Pickup


If you accept the offer, we’ll arrange free car removal from your location — anywhere across Hobart, Kingston, Glenorchy, Rosetta, Moonah, or beyond. No need to arrange a tow truck or transport — we bring our own equipment.

📜 Step 4: Paperwork & Payment


We’ll bring all the necessary documents and help you complete the transfer. If your car is deregistered or missing plates, we’ll still buy it. Just provide a valid photo ID and sign the sale form — then receive cash on the spot.

♻️ What Happens to Damaged Cars?


We either dismantle them for usable parts or recycle them through licensed facilities. This eco-friendly disposal ensures:

– Fluids and hazardous materials are safely removed

– Usable parts are repurposed

– Metal is recycled responsibly

📍 Areas We Cover


Our service covers all suburbs across Southern Tasmania: Bellerive, Taroona, Lindisfarne, Blackmans Bay, Sorell, New Norfolk, and more.

⚠️ Don’t Leave It Sitting


A broken car sitting idle:

– Takes up space

– Can attract fines or complaints

– Loses value every month


Selling it quickly to Hobart Car Buyers ensures you get value out of it while avoiding unnecessary stress.
