Can You Sell a Deregistered or Unregistered Car?
- has been deregistered
- no current rego
- has been off the road for some time

- is not worth repairing just to get it roadworthy again
Tell us the vehicle details as they are. We can assess it based on its age, type, condition and current status.
Selling a Car With No Rego or a Failed WoF
A car does not need a current rego or WoF for you to ask Cash For Car NZ for an offer.
For many owners, the decision comes down to whether they want to spend more money getting the vehicle back on the road or sell it in its current condition.
Deregistered vs Unregistered: What Matters When Selling?
These terms are often used interchangeably when people are trying to sell an off-road vehicle, but they are not always the same situation.
A deregistered vehicle has been removed from the vehicle register. People searching for an unregistered car may also simply mean a vehicle with no current rego.
For selling purposes, the important thing is to tell us the vehicle’s actual status. If you are deciding whether to put the vehicle back on the road first, see our guide to selling a deregistered car vs re-registering it.
How to Sell Your Deregistered Vehicle
The process is straightforward.
Tell us about the vehicle
Send through the make, model, year, location and current rego or WoF status.
Get An Offer
We assess the details you provide and give you an offer for the vehicle.
Arrange collection
If you choose to sell, vehicle collection can be arranged for the accepted purchase.
No advertising the car, organizing multiple viewings or waiting around for private buyers.
What Do We Need to Know About Your Car?
Giving us accurate information helps us assess the vehicle properly. Useful details include:
- make, model and year
- vehicle location
- its general condition
- whether it has current rego
- whether it has a current WoF
- whether the vehicle can be driven
If the car has failed a WoF, you can also tell us what it failed on if you know. If you do not know, simply provide the information you have.
Do You Need to Re-Register the Car Before Selling It?
Not if you are asking us to assess the vehicle in its current condition.
Re-registering a vehicle is a different decision from selling it. Whether putting a deregistered vehicle back on the road makes sense will depend on the individual vehicle and what is required.
If your aim is simply to sell the car rather than repair and re-register it, request an offer first and compare your options.
