Car Dealers in Tasmania — common questions
- What warranty do I get buying a used car from a Tasmanian dealer?
- A licensed dealer must provide a statutory warranty on most used vehicles under a set age and odometer threshold. The exact terms depend on the vehicle's age and kilometres, so ask for the warranty in writing as part of the deal.
- Is there a cooling-off period on a car purchase?
- A cooling-off period applies to some dealer sales but not to private sales, and it does not apply if you bought at auction or the vehicle was sold as a trade-in. Confirm it in writing before you sign.
- What is a pre-purchase inspection and is it worth it?
- An independent inspection by a mechanic who is not selling you the car is one of the best-value things you can buy. It typically costs a few hundred dollars and can find thousands of dollars of faults.
- Should I buy privately to save money?
- Private sales are usually cheaper and carry no statutory warranty and no cooling-off. You also have no recourse if the car has a problem the seller did not disclose, short of proving misrepresentation.
