Skip the drive down to sell your car
An unused car can be difficult to deal with when you live in Karori's elevated valley and surrounding hills. You may not want to drive a damaged vehicle into the city or arrange a drop-off somewhere else. Sell My Salvage lets you get a price online instead. Accept the offer, and we’ll arrange collection from your location in Karori. There is no need to advertise privately, meet multiple buyers, or spend your weekend negotiating.
What cars do we buy in Karori?
From vehicles parked along the valley floor to cars left sitting on the surrounding slopes, we've bought them all across Karori. Running or not, registered or not, we'll take it off your hands. Our car removal service covers the whole suburb, so there's no need to arrange transport yourself.
Not running, or looking rough? Still keen

Wet winters aren't kind to cars left sitting
Karori sits higher and further inland than the suburbs closer to the harbour, so cars parked here tend to see more rain, more mist, and the odd frost over winter. That takes a toll faster than most owners realise, and working out what a car's actually worth afterwards isn't always straightforward. Rather than guessing, we look at the vehicle's age, condition, and demand across Wellington to give you a clear cash offer, so there's nothing to list and nothing to chase.
We buy all makes and models in Karori
From everyday hatchbacks and family SUVs to utes and older runabouts, we buy a wide range of makes and models across Karori.

Frequently asked questions
Karori car owners often ask about vehicle access, payment, pickup, and selling cars in different conditions, especially when unwanted vehicles are parked on hillsides or steep driveways.
Can I get cash for an old or unwanted car in Karori?
Yes. We buy a wide range of used vehicles, including old cars, unwanted cars, damaged vehicles, and newer models. If the car no longer suits your needs or has been sitting unused, get a price online. You can then review the offer and decide whether you would like to proceed.
Can I sell my car for cash in Karori without a current WOF?
Yes. You can sell your vehicle even if it does not have a current Warrant of Fitness. We consider vehicles in different conditions, including older, damaged, and non-roadworthy cars. You do not need to renew the WOF simply to request a price. Tell us about the vehicle online, and we’ll assess your details.
Do you offer car removal for cash in Karori if my vehicle does not run?
Yes, we consider non-running vehicles for car removal in Karori. You do not need to get the car running before requesting a price. Provide accurate details about its condition when you contact us. If you accept our offer, we’ll arrange collection, so you are not responsible for driving the vehicle elsewhere.
Do you offer cash for cars anywhere in Karori?
Yes, we arrange vehicle collection across Karori. Whether your car is parked near the valley floor or at a home on one of the suburb’s hillier streets, you can start by getting a price online. Once you accept our offer, we’ll arrange collection from your location, provided the vehicle can be accessed safely.
How quickly will I receive payment after selling my car?
After you accept our offer and complete the required steps, payment is processed within 24 hours. The exact collection arrangements depend on your vehicle's location and accessibility. Our process is designed to avoid the delays of private selling, with your quote, acceptance, and collection arrangements handled digitally before pickup.
What if my car is parked on a steep driveway in Karori?
Let us know about the driveway and vehicle position when arranging collection. Karori's hilly terrain means some properties have sloping or more challenging access. Sharing those details beforehand helps us plan the pickup appropriately. If the exact parking spot is unsuitable for collection, we can discuss a practical alternative location with you.
