The Complete Guide to Selling a Junk Car in Auckland – Fast, Legal, and Profitable

Junk cars are more than just eyesores—they take up space, leak fluids, and cost money in rego and insurance. But selling them doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, with the right help, it’s easy, fast, and can earn you top dollar. Here’s your step-by-step guide to legally selling a junk car in Auckland—and how Cash for Cars Auckland makes it as painless as possible.

Step 1: Decide If It’s Worth Fixing

Is the cost of repair more than the value of the car? If it’s failed multiple WOFs, needs a new engine, or is already deregistered, it’s likely time to let go. Selling to a wrecker saves time and removes the burden fast.


Step 2: Gather Key Vehicle Info

Have the following ready:

  • Make, model, and year

  • Approximate mileage

  • Whether the car starts or not

  • Rego and WOF status (if available)

Photos help get a more accurate quote, especially for damage assessment.


Step 3: Request a Free Quote

Reach out to Cash for Cars Auckland online or by phone. We’ll offer a competitive price based on:

  • Current scrap metal rates

  • Part resale value

  • Vehicle weight and location

There’s no obligation to accept—but most customers do, because our offers are some of the best in Auckland.


Step 4: Book Your Free Car Removal

We offer free pickup anywhere in Auckland, including North Shore, South Auckland, West Auckland, and the CBD. Choose a date and time that works for you. Often, we can pick up your vehicle the same day.


Step 5: Sign Ownership Transfer (MR13B)

When we arrive, we bring the MR13B form for you to sign. This is the legal step that transfers ownership and releases you from liability. All you need is:

  • Your driver’s license or photo ID

  • Vehicle key (if available)


Step 6: Get Paid Instantly

Once the form is signed and the vehicle is loaded, you get paid immediately—in cash or via instant bank transfer. No waiting, no hidden fees.
