Every offer comes down to two things: the recyclable metal in your vehicle and the reusable parts worth recovering. The more of each — and the more in-demand they are locally — the higher the offer. Here's roughly how different vehicles stack up.
We can't put a single price on every car, but we can be straight about what drives the number. Here's how offers work and what lifts yours.

Where your vehicle sits on this ladder is the biggest factor in the offer — but we pay across the whole range, including the bottom.
None of these are essential — we buy cars without any of them — but each one adds to what we can pay.
Offers vary widely — from around a hundred-odd dollars for a stripped scrap shell up to several thousand for a tidy, in-demand ute or 4WD. Because it depends so heavily on your specific vehicle, the only accurate figure is a real quote, which is free.
Because no two cars are the same. A 2010 Hilux and a 2010 hatchback of an obscure make are worth very different amounts, and condition changes everything. A quick quote gives you a firm number instead of a vague guess.
No — not unless the vehicle is materially different from what you described. If it matches, the quoted price is what you're paid. We'd rather quote honestly up front than surprise you at the gate.
Tell us about your vehicle and we'll come back fast with a free, no-obligation cash offer — then tow it away for free, anywhere around the Queenstown Lakes.
