What People do with their unwanted car in New Zealand

Do you know there are over 3,858,000 vehicles in New Zealand that includes old and new vehicles. There is a question " What happens when the car develops issues and cost of repair rises above budget?"

Some car owners suggest they just keep on spending on their car and at the end simply dump it the parking lot which is illegal, and it becomes someone else's headache. Rather then dumping it or keep on spending on a dead car that would broke down on your way to work we suggest a few points which would help you get rid of the car and perhaps earn some cash for it. Some might not know, there is old saying your old trash might be someone else’s treasure.

We Suggest

Car Recycling companies

Such companies do exist in your local regions and offers cash for scrap cars sometimes you might get nothing but better to avoid getting a fine for dumping. We came across many unwanted car owners where they sold their scrap car for cash to such companies and received amount of ranging from $150 to $730, In Christchurch Kiwi cash for cars has been operating for 3 years and purchases scrap cars. One of the major benefit of dealing with such companies is you get free removal, that means, the company is responsible of picking up the car and completing necessary forms.

Don’t keep on spending on a car that is dead, it happens to most of the old vehicles and even if you try to fix the car eventually it won’t end up sold at a high price. Old car owners are encouraged to call used car dealership to sell their car as it would be sold at decent price but there is a condition, it should be in a driving condition and no major damage or issues. For e.g.: Chris from Christchurch sold his 2004 Toyota caldina for $1855 including free removal, the car was working fine just had some minor cosmetic damage.

As new model cars are on the market, the old model loses value. According to motoring.com.au each year every motor vehicle company introduces new model with better features. Consumers are tending to purchase new cars rather than second hand vehicles. The old car owners are stuck with a vehicle they no longer require the best options we explained above.
