Cash for Cars NZ, Sell Your Vehicle for Up to $12,000
Got a car you no longer want? We buy cars, vans, utes, 4WDs and other vehicles in a wide range of conditions, with cash offers of up to $12,000 depending on the vehicle.
We keep the process straightforward: tell us what you have, get an offer, choose a pickup time and we’ll collect the vehicle free of charge. Same-day pickup is available in many areas, and we can often arrange collection within an hour.
Sell Your Car Without the Private-Sale Hassle
We’re a direct vehicle buyer, so you don’t need to advertise your car, deal with multiple buyers or spend time getting it ready for a private sale. We buy vehicles that are:
- Old or unwanted
- Running or non-running
- Damaged or accident-damaged
- Failed a WoF
- Mechanically faulty
- Unregistered or deregistered
- Suitable for scrap or recycling
If you’re searching for cash for cars, car removal, scrap car removal or somewhere to sell your car, it all starts with the same thing: tell us about the vehicle and we’ll let you know what we can offer.
HOW OUR CASH FOR CARS SERVICE WORKS
TELL US ABOUT THE VEHICLE
Give us a call or fill out the form. Tell us your vehicle type, location, and condition.
GET AN OFFER
We assess the vehicle using the provided details. Photos can help if there’s significant damage.
WE COLLECT YOUR VEHICLE
If you accept the offer, we arrange free pickup, pay you on the spot and help sort the relevant paperwork.
How Much Cash Can I Get for My Car?
We pay up to $12,000 for eligible vehicles, but there isn’t one fixed price for every car. When we assess a vehicle, we look at factors such as:
- Make, model and year
- Overall condition
- Whether it runs and drives
- Mechanical or accident damage
- Kilometres travelled
- Registration and WoF status
- Vehicle completeness
- Pickup location
Providing accurate details helps us give you a more accurate offer from the start. Photos can also be useful when the vehicle has accident damage or other significant issues.
Free Car Removal and Vehicle Pickup
If the car can’t be driven, that doesn’t stop us from buying it.
We provide free vehicle pickup, including for many non-running, damaged, unwanted and scrap vehicles. Depending on where the vehicle is and our truck availability, we can often arrange same-day car removal, with some pickups completed within an hour.
That means you don’t need to organise a tow truck separately or pay to get the vehicle to us.
Selling a Scrap, Damaged or Unwanted Car
A vehicle doesn’t need to be roadworthy to have value.
We regularly assess cars that owners want to move on because they have mechanical problems, accident damage, failed WoFs, expired registration or repair costs that no longer make sense for them.
If you’re thinking “I want to scrap my car” or “I just need this car gone”, send us the vehicle details before assuming it has no value. We can assess it as a complete vehicle and let you know whether we can make an offer and collect it.
We Take Care of the Vehicle Paperwork
Selling an end-of-life or unwanted vehicle can involve more than handing over the keys.
We help take care of the relevant vehicle paperwork as part of the collection process, so you know what is happening when the vehicle changes hands.
For vehicles entering the wrecking stream, we operate as licensed vehicle recyclers and process vehicles for dismantling and recycling rather than simply sending complete vehicles to waste.
