Actual offers depend on the specific car, but as a rough guide, here's what different vehicle types typically fetch as scrap in New Zealand. These are indicative ranges for a complete car — running cars sit at the higher end, stripped cars lower, and the firm figure always comes after inspection.
| Vehicle type | Typical indicative range |
|---|---|
| Small hatch (e.g. Vitz, Swift) | $150 – $450 |
| Sedan (e.g. Corolla, Lancer) | $180 – $550 |
| Station wagon | $200 – $600 |
| Small SUV | $280 – $850 |
| Midsize SUV | $400 – $1,500 |
| Large SUV / 4WD (e.g. Pajero, Land Cruiser) | $600 – $3,000 |
| Ute (e.g. Hilux, Ranger) | $650 – $3,300 |
| Van | $450 – $2,100 |
| EV / hybrid | $350 – $2,600 |
Ranges are a guide only and move with the scrap metal market and parts demand. They are not an offer. For your car's figure, use the calculator or get a firm quote.
Call 0800 000 523 or send your rego (or year, make & model). You get a firm cash figure in about 60 seconds.
Pick a time that suits — most pickups are same or next day, to you, anywhere in NZ.
Cash or bank transfer is settled before the car is loaded. No waiting, no chasing.
We complete the NZTA disposal notification for you, free, so the car is off your name.
Any make, any age, any condition — running or dead, with or without a WOF or registration. If it has four wheels, we'll make you an offer.
Two things drive the price: the weight and grade of recoverable metal, and demand for the car's reusable parts. Late-model cars, popular makes and complete vehicles fetch more; stripped or heavily rusted cars fetch less but still have value. We assess both, which is why our offers beat a flat scrap-yard weight price. Try the value calculator or get a firm quote.
