using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class Respawn : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization


public GameObject other;

void OnTriggerEnter2D (Collider2D other) {
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Car1") {  
		
transform.position = new Vector3 (0f,0f,0f); //<---wanted to respawn to this position
		
	}

}

The way I would do it is make the player into a prefab. Make an empty gameobject where you want to player to respawn. Then add a script like this to the object that triggers the player death:

     public GameObject carl;
 	public Transform spawnPoint;
	
	void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
	{
		if (other.tag == "Carl")
		{
			Destroy(other.gameObject);
			StartCoroutine("Respawn", 5f);
		}
	}
	
	IEnumerator Respawn(float spawnDelay)
	{
		yield return new WaitForSeconds(spawnDelay);
		Instantiate (carl, spawnPoint.position, spawnPoint.rotation);
	}

You see, when the player hits the trigger I destroy the player and respawn him from a prefab, using the IEnumerator. If you need to player to keep data then instead of destroying him you can just disable his gameobject in the trigger event, and then re-enable it in the IEnumerator.
