Clearing up the confusion

We buy unwanted vehicles — we don't sell them

Some people confuse us with a used-car dealer. We're the opposite: we pay you cash for the vehicle you want gone.

✅ What we buy

  • Scrap & junk cars — rusted, dead, beyond repair
  • Non-runners — blown engines, dead batteries, won't start
  • Damaged cars — accident, flood or fire damaged, written off
  • No WOF or rego — unregistered, unroadworthy, failed WOF
  • Utes, vans, trucks & 4WDs — any make, any condition
  • Old & unwanted vehicles — just taking up space

❌ What we're not

  • We're not a used-car dealer — we don't sell cars to you
  • We're not a second-hand car yard
  • We don't do trade-ins on a newer vehicle
  • We don't charge for towing or removal — ever
  • We don't lowball then chip the price at pickup
  • We don't leave you with the NZTA paperwork
