Need cash for cars in Rotorua today? We buy cars, vans, utes, SUVs/4x4s, trucks, trailers, tractors, and commercial vehicles in any condition – old, used, junk, wrecked, damaged, rusted, written-off, or not running.

If it’s got wheels (or used to), we can usually pick it up same day, tow it away for free, and pay you up to $12,000 depending on the vehicle.

Rotorua locals call us when they want it gone fast (without the TradeMe circus)

If you’ve ever tried selling a rough vehicle privately, you’ll know the vibe: endless messages, “swap for an iPhone?”🙄, no-shows, and someone turning up who reckons they’re a mechanic because they once changed a wiper blade😑.

We do it differently because we’re buying vehicles the way a wrecker and a tow operator looks at them: parts value, scrap value, demand, and how quickly we can remove it safely. That’s why we can still make an offer when a dealer won’t touch it, especially for no WOF / no rego vehicles, dead cars, and accident-damaged cars.

We buy vehicles in any condition
(yes, even the “don’t judge me” ones)

Rotorua weather, long commutes, and work utes that never get a day off… vehicles cop it. If yours is on its last legs, that’s exactly what we’re here for.

We regularly buy:

▶  No WOF / no REGO vehicles, deregistered vehicles, and long-parked cars
▶  Non-runners (won’t start, blown engine, stuffed transmission, flat tyres, dead battery)
▶  Wrecked or damaged vehicles (crash damage, panel damage, flood/fire damage, insurance write-offs)
▶  High-km workhorses (utes, vans, light trucks, fleet vehicles)
▶  Commercial and specialty vehicles (work trucks, flatdecks, some larger commercial units

And yep, if you’re searching “scrap cars Rotorua” or “scrap car removal Rotorua”, you’re in the right place.

How we price your car (and how to get the best cash offer)

“Scrap car” doesn’t automatically mean “cheap.” The highest payouts usually come from vehicles with strong parts demand (often late-model utes, vans, 4x4s) or vehicles that are complete and easy to collect.

Your quote is typically based on:

  • Make/model/year (and what parts are in demand right now)
  • Overall condition (complete vs missing parts)
  • Damage type (mechanical vs structural)
  • Access (easy driveway pickup vs stuck/blocked-in)
  • Vehicle type (cars vs vans vs trucks vs commercial)

So if you want the quickest accurate quote, send the basics: rego (if you have it), make/model, what’s wrong with it, and where it’s parked in Rotorua.

We keep this easy because Rotorua folks are busy (and nobody wants a dead car sitting there “for one more week”… for three months).

Here’s how it works:

  2. We give you a straight-up cash offer
  3. Book a pickup time , often same day
  4. We arrive, load it safely, and you get paid on the spot

No pushy sales talk. No messing around. Just a clean, quick vehicle sale.
