Car Wrecker NZ

Cash for Junk Cars

Got a car that’s damaged, wrecked, broken or simply no longer worth fixing? We buy junk cars for cash and assess each vehicle based on what it is, its condition and where it’s located.

You don’t need to repair the car or get it roadworthy first. Send us the rego or vehicle details and we’ll let you know what we can offer. Depending on the vehicle, we pay up to $12,000.

What Do We Mean by a Junk Car?

For us, a junk car is a vehicle that’s reached the point where keeping or repairing it may no longer make sense. That can include a car with:
The vehicle doesn’t have to fit a particular age, make or model. We assess the actual vehicle and its condition.

Sell a Damaged Car for Cash

A damaged vehicle can still have value even when it isn’t practical to repair.

We assess accident-damaged, mechanically damaged and non-running cars individually. What we can offer depends on factors such as the make, model, age, condition and usable components.

Send us the vehicle registration and a brief description of the damage. Photos can also help us understand the condition before we make an offer.

Cash for Wrecked and Broken Cars

If your vehicle has been wrecked or has a major mechanical failure, you don’t need to get it running before contacting us. We can assess vehicles with issues such as:
We’ll tell you whether we’re interested and what we can offer before anything is arranged.

How Much Is a Junk Car Worth?

There isn’t one fixed price for a junk vehicle. We look at the individual car, including its make and model, age, condition, location and what remains usable or recoverable.

Some vehicles may only have limited end-of-life value, while others can be worth considerably more. Our offers can be up to $12,000, depending on the vehicle.

The easiest way to get an accurate figure is to send us the rego and condition details.

What Happens to a Junk Car After We Buy It?

Vehicles that are no longer suitable for continued use can still contain components and materials with further value.

As part of our vehicle dismantling and recycling operation, suitable components may be recovered for reuse and recyclable vehicle materials separated where appropriate.

This is different from simply treating the whole vehicle as waste.

Junk Car FAQs

Can I sell a junk car that doesn’t run?
Yes. A vehicle doesn’t need to be running for us to assess it. Tell us what’s wrong with it when you request an offer.


Can I sell a badly damaged car?
Yes. We assess damaged and wrecked vehicles, including cars with significant accident or mechanical damage.


Do I need a WoF before selling it?
No. You don’t need to make an end-of-life or damaged vehicle roadworthy before asking us to assess it.
