Some makes and models have higher demand for used parts, which can lift the offer.
Newer or better condition cars usually hold more value, but we also buy old, damaged and non running cars.

Your spot in Alexandra or nearby Central Otago can slightly affect the offer based on pickup distance.
A car that still starts or rolls is often easier to collect, which can help improve the offer.
