Whether your car has failed its WOF, been written off in an accident, or simply reached the point where it’s no longer worth fixing, Arrow Auto will buy it in the condition it’s in. There’s no need to spend weeks trying to sell it privately, deal with time-wasters, or arrange your own transport for a vehicle that can’t be driven. Once you submit your details, we review your vehicle and get back to you with a straightforward offer, with no pressure to accept.
If you go ahead, we arrange pickup at a time that works for you, anywhere in New Zealand, at no cost. Our team takes care of collection, whether the car is sitting in a driveway, a garage, or has been off the road for years. From your first enquiry to the moment the car leaves your property, the whole process is handled by Arrow Auto.
- Cars in any condition accepted, running or not
- Free pickup, anywhere in New Zealand
- Fair, no-obligation quote before you commit to anything
- Vehicle handled responsibly after collection
Which cars do we buy?
We consider cars of all makes and models. Condition affects the offer we make, but it does not stop us from considering your vehicle. Common situations include:
- Cars that have failed a WOF or are no longer worth the cost of repair
- Accident-damaged or written-off vehicles
- Cars with engine, gearbox or other mechanical problems
- Vehicles that have been parked up and unused for a long time
- Older or unwanted cars you simply no longer need
How selling your car to Arrow Auto works
- Tell us about your car. Send your rego or make and model, your pickup address and your contact details. It only takes a minute.
- Receive your offer. We review the details, confirm our offer and agree the pickup arrangements with you.
- We collect your car. Your vehicle is picked up or towed away and the process is complete.
What to have ready
To prepare an accurate offer, it helps to have your vehicle registration number (or the make, model and year), a few clear photos, and details about its condition and where it is located. Our online vehicle purchase form asks for photos of the vehicle and both sides of your driver licence. After the sale, remember to notify NZTA that you no longer own the vehicle. If you are unsure how that works, ask us when we confirm your pickup.
Why sell your car to Arrow Auto?
Selling an unwanted car privately can mean weeks of advertising, calls and no-shows. With Arrow Auto you deal with one team from enquiry to collection, receive a fair and transparent offer, and have the vehicle removed from your property at no cost. Vehicles are dismantled and recycled responsibly after collection, so usable parts are recovered and the rest does not simply end up as waste. You can read more about how we dismantle vehicles on our car wrecking page, or see how towing works if your car cannot be driven.
