Not a used-car dealer

We're wreckers — so a dead car is still worth money.

Plenty of buyers only want tidy, late-model cars. We're different: we buy vehicles for their parts and metal, which means the ones nobody else wants — scrap, junk, crashed, snow-battered, deregistered — are exactly what we pay cash for.

  • Running or notFlat battery, blown engine, won't start — it makes no difference to us.
  • Damaged & written-offCrash damage, a winter prang on the Crown Range or a failed WOF are no barrier to a cash offer.
  • No rego, no problemWe tow it, so your vehicle never has to be road-legal or driven.

What makes a car worth more

Every vehicle has value — these lift the offer:

  • It still runs and drives
  • Current WOF and rego
  • All parts present & undamaged
  • In-demand 4WD, SUV or ute

Straight answers

Selling your car in Queenstown — the honest answers

How much is my car worth?

It depends on the make, model, year, weight and condition, plus current scrap-metal and used-parts prices. A complete car in running order with current rego is worth more than a stripped, dead one — but we pay for vehicles in any condition, including scrap. The fastest way to know is to get a free quote with your details.

Where can I get cash for cars in Queenstown?

Right here. We're a local Queenstown team paying cash for cars of any make, age and condition right across the Queenstown-Lakes and Central Otago. Send your vehicle's details for a free quote, take the offer, and we collect it free and pay you on pickup.

Can you scrap my car in Queenstown for cash?

Yes — that's exactly what we do. There's no big wrecking yard in town, so instead of hauling a dead car over to Cromwell or Invercargill yourself, you just send us the details, take the free cash offer, and we collect it and sort the paperwork. See our cash for scrap cars page for how it works.

Do you offer free car removal across the Queenstown Lakes?

Yes. Free car removal is included in every offer, from central Queenstown and Frankton out to Arrowtown, Lake Hayes, Wanaka, Cromwell, Glenorchy and Kingston. The cash we quote is what you get, with no towing fees or deductions, whether you're in town or out on a lifestyle block.

I'm leaving at the end of the season — can you buy my car quickly?

Absolutely, and we do it constantly. Seasonal and visa workers heading home need a car gone fast, often within a day or two, with no drawn-out private sale. Send the details, take the offer, and we'll collect it and pay you before you fly out — ex-backpacker cars and tired runabouts are no problem.

Do you buy cars that don't run or have no WOF or rego?

Yes. Non-runners, cars that have failed their WOF, and vehicles with expired rego are exactly what we handle every day. You can legally sell a vehicle without a current WOF or rego as long as it's not being driven on the road — and we tow it, so it never needs to be driven.

How quickly can you collect it?

Often the same day or the next, depending on where you are and how busy we are. Pickups out to Arrowtown, Lake Hayes, Gibbston, Wanaka and Cromwell are routine — we come to you, steep driveway or lakeside street included.

What paperwork do I need?

Ideally proof you own the vehicle (registration papers or a licence matching the registered owner). We handle the change-of-ownership notification so the vehicle is no longer in your name once we take it.

What happens to my car after you take it?

Usable parts are recovered and resold, and the remaining metal is sent for recycling. Fluids and hazardous materials are drained and disposed of responsibly — which matters even more in a lakes catchment like Wakatipu — so your old car is dealt with properly rather than leaking away on your section.
