Cash for Cars - Sell Your Car for Cash
Auto Wrecker NZ buys cars directly from vehicle owners across Waikato, Bay of Plenty and Taranaki.
We buy vehicles in a wide range of conditions, including unwanted, damaged, non-running, deregistered and scrap cars. Send us the vehicle details and we’ll assess it and make an offer.
If you accept, we arrange collection and payment.
Cash for Cars in Any Condition
You do not need a tidy, roadworthy vehicle to request an offer. We buy cars that are:
- old or unwanted
- non-running
- deregistered
- damaged or accident-damaged
- without a current WoF or rego
- scrap or no longer worth repairing
- still running but no longer wanted
The condition of the vehicle affects the offer, but it does not automatically stop it from being considered.
If you are unsure whether we will buy your car, send through the details and its current condition.
Cash for Cars in Any Condition
- vehicle condition
- vehicle type
- current demand
- materials value
- current demand
A damaged or non-running vehicle can still have value, so the best way to find out what your car is worth is to request an offer based on the actual vehicle.
Send the vehicle rego or VIN number and its condition.

Collection is free when we buy the vehicle. Same-day pickup may be available depending on the vehicle, location and availability.
Cash for Unwanted, Damaged and Non-Running Cars
Some cars are harder to sell privately because they need repairs, do not run or no longer have a current WoF or registration. You can still request an offer from us.
That includes:
Cash for Unwanted cars
Damaged cars
Non-running cars
Deregistered cars
Scrap cars
Cash for Cars vs Selling Privately
Selling privately can make sense when you want to advertise the vehicle, deal with enquiries, arrange viewings and negotiate directly with buyers.
Cash for cars is a different option.
You provide the vehicle details, receive an offer and decide whether you want to sell it directly to Auto Wrecker NZ.
There is no need to prepare the car for private listings or wait for individual buyers before finding out what we will offer.
What Information Do We Need to Make an Offer?
Providing accurate details helps us assess the vehicle before collection is arranged. Send us:
- current condition
- pickup location
- whether the vehicle runs
- relevant damage or mechanical problems
- registration number, or make, model and year
