Want to sell your car without spending weeks on listings, messages, viewings and negotiations?
Cash For Car NZ buys used, old, damaged, unwanted and non-running vehicles directly. Tell us about your car, get an offer, and if it suits you, arrange the sale and vehicle pickup.
If you’re thinking “I want to sell my car”, start with the vehicle details and see what offer is available.
Sell My Car Directly to Cash For Car NZ
Selling directly gives you another option besides advertising the vehicle privately or trading it in.
Cash For Car NZ assesses the vehicle based on details such as its make, model, year, kilometres, condition and location. If an offer works for you, the sale can move ahead without organising listings or dealing with multiple potential buyers.
This option is particularly useful when you want to sell your car quickly, the vehicle needs work, or you simply want a more straightforward sale.
There is no obligation to accept an offer.
What Cars Can I Sell?
You do not need a tidy, road-ready vehicle to ask for an offer. Cash For Car NZ provides quotes for vehicles including:
- used cars
- old cars
- unwanted cars
- damaged cars
- accident-damaged vehicles
- non-running cars
- cars with mechanical problems
- vehicles without a current WoF
- vehicles without current registration
- SUVs and 4WDs
- vans, utes and trucks
Vehicle acceptance and the final offer depend on the individual vehicle and its condition.

How Much Can I Get for My Car?
There is no single price that applies to every vehicle. When you ask “how much can I sell my car for?”, the answer can depend on:
- make and model
- year
- kilometres travelled
- overall condition
- mechanical condition
- whether the vehicle runs
- WoF and registration status
- vehicle location
The simplest way to find out is to provide accurate vehicle details and request an offer.
If you are still deciding what asking price makes sense, read our How Much Should I Sell My Car For? NZ pricing guide.

what our customers say
Why Sell My Car Directly?
- want to avoid advertising and buyer messages
- don't want strangers coming around for viewings
- have an old or damaged vehicle
- need to sell a non-running car
- don't want weeks of negotiation
- want vehicle pickup arranged
- prefer getting an offer before deciding what to do
Selling privately can still suit someone with a tidy vehicle, plenty of time and a goal of testing the market for the highest possible price.
If convenience matters more, getting a direct offer gives you another option without committing to the sale.

Sell My Car FAQs
Can I sell my car without a WoF?
Cash For Car NZ can assess vehicles with or without a current WoF. If you’re selling privately, there are specific NZ requirements around WoF status and what you agree with the buyer.
Read our legal requirements for selling a car in NZ for the seller requirements.
Can I sell my car if it does not run?
Yes, non-running vehicles can be considered. Provide details about what is wrong with the car and whether it can be easily accessed for pickup.
Can I sell a damaged car?
Yes. Cash For Car NZ assesses accident-damaged and mechanically damaged cars as well as vehicles that are no longer worth repairing.
Can I sell my car if finance is still owing?
Selling a vehicle with finance owing needs extra care because an existing security interest can affect the transaction.
See our guide to selling a car with finance owing in NZ before completing the sale.
Can I sell a deregistered car?
Deregistered vehicles can be handled differently from normal registered vehicles.
Read our Sell Deregistered Vehicles NZ guide for that specific situation.
What happens after I sell my car?
Both parties have responsibilities when a vehicle changes hands, including notifying NZTA.
Our Change Car Ownership NZ guide covers the process in detail.
What information do I need to get an offer?
Have the vehicle registration or VIN number, along with the kilometres, condition, whether it runs and its current location. Providing accurate information helps the vehicle assessment.
