Why Invercargill Vehicle Owners Choose Us

Many old or damaged vehicles are hard to sell. Some will not start, some carry accident damage, and others cost far more to repair than they are worth. That is exactly where we can help.

We buy vehicles in almost any condition across Invercargill and Southland. You do not need to fix your car, arrange towing, or chase a private buyer. We collect it for free and pay you on the spot.

Rust Damaged Vehicles

Cars that no longer pass a WOF or would cost too much to bring back to road legal condition.

Non Running Vehicles

Flat tyres, dead batteries, gearbox faults or engine problems that stop the car starting at all.

Accident Damaged Vehicles

Insurance write offs and damaged vehicles you no longer want sitting on the driveway.

What Do You Need Before Selling Your Vehicle?

Having a few basics ready keeps the collection quick and hassle free for everyone.

What to have ready

  • Photo ID so we can confirm you have the right to sell the vehicle.
  • Registration details if you still have them on hand.
  • Vehicle keys if they have not been lost over the years.

No current WOF and no registration is not a problem. We still buy plenty of vehicles in that situation, so just mention it when you request your free quote.

It also pays to check the car for anything you want to keep, such as plates, paperwork, tools or personal items, before our truck arrives.

Completing the sale correctly

If your vehicle is still registered, follow the New Zealand Transport Agency process so ownership transfers cleanly and you avoid any future fines or notices linked to the vehicle.

These are the official government pages covering the steps and the cancellation form.
