We buy vehicles in almost any condition. We regularly serve our Invercargill cash for cars customers and our Gore cash for cars customers, alongside every town in between.
Vehicles that have reached the end of their life or cost more to fix than they are worth.
Panel damage, crash damage, or insurance written off history all considered.
Cars that will not start or are no longer safe to drive are still welcome.
Vehicles affected by water damage or severe weather.
We buy vehicles with major mechanical issues, even when repairs cost too much.
Expired registration or WOF will not stop us from making you an offer.
We buy both personal and light commercial work vehicles.
We accept most makes and models across different vehicle types.
A current WOF or registration is not required to sell your vehicle to us. If your car has been sitting unused, has failed inspection, or costs too much to repair, we can still make you a cash offer.

A complete vehicle with reusable parts is often worth more than one missing major parts.
Older vehicles can still hold value if their parts are in good condition and needed by others.
Accident damage, engine failure, gearbox issues or a car that will not run can still qualify.
The amount of recyclable metal in your vehicle also plays a part in the final price.
