How to Sell a Junk Car in Whakatāne – The Complete Guide

When to scrap, what you'll need, and exactly how to turn a junk car into cash — step by step.

Step 1: Decide if it's time to scrap

Ask yourself: is the cost of repair more than the car's value? Has it failed multiple WOFs? Has it been off the road for over a year? Is it no longer safe to drive? If yes, it's time to sell.

Step 2: Gather vehicle information

Before getting a quote, prepare the make, model and year, whether the vehicle starts, any missing parts or major damage, rego/WOF status, mileage if known, and photos (optional, but helpful).

Step 3: Request a free quote

Call 079 292 332 or fill out our online form. Our team will assess your car and offer a competitive price — no obligation.

Step 4: Schedule a free pickup

Once you accept our offer, we'll arrange a time to collect your vehicle — usually within 24 hours, at no cost to you.

Step 5: Sign ownership transfer

Our team will bring the NZTA MR13B form and help you fill it out on-site. You only need your ID to complete the process.
