Sell your car without adding another trip to the list
An unwanted car can be particularly inconvenient when it has been sitting outside through Lyall Bay's strong winds, rain, and salty coastal air. Instead of arranging a tow or driving an unreliable vehicle elsewhere, you can handle the sale online. Send us your vehicle details, receive an offer, and decide whether to accept it. Once the sale is confirmed, we arrange collection from your location, so you can move the vehicle on without another trip across Wellington.
What cars do we buy in Lyall Bay?
Coastal living isn't always kind to a car, and salt air off Cook Strait can leave paintwork and undercarriages worse for wear faster than inland suburbs. Whether your car's been sitting exposed to the southerlies or it's simply reached the end of its road, we'll buy it as is.
Corroded, unregistered, or not starting? We'll still take it
A car that's taken a beating from sea spray or won't turn over anymore is still worth cash to us.
A trusted car buyer around Wellington's south coast
From the beachfront at Lyall Bay to neighbouring Kilbirnie and Rongotai, we're backed by the wider 1800 Auto Group network and its years of salvage buying experience.

Turn that salt-worn car into cash
Cars parked near the beach cop it worse than most. Sea spray and southerly winds chew through paintwork and undercarriages faster than they would a few streets back from the coast, and a car that's been sitting exposed for a while often isn't worth fixing up. Rather than pouring more money into something on its way out, we'll look at its age, condition, and what's realistic for a vehicle in that state, then give you a straight number. No repairs to sort, no buyers to convince.
We buy all makes and models in Lyall Bay
From compact runabouts suited to the tight coastal streets to older wagons and work vehicles, we're interested regardless of make.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions about selling your vehicle in Lyall Bay? Here are answers covering collection, vehicle condition, payment, and selling a car without taking it elsewhere.
Can I get cash for a scrap or junk car in Lyall Bay?
Yes. If you have a scrap car, junk car, or vehicle that is no longer worth repairing, you can request a price from us. We assess vehicles individually based on the information provided and their condition. If you accept the offer, we can arrange car removal for cash in Lyall Bay, with no need to take the vehicle to a wrecker yourself.
Can I sell my car for cash in Lyall Bay if it is parked near the coast?
Yes. We can arrange collection anywhere in Lyall Bay, including vehicles parked in residential areas or closer to the coast. When you request a price, provide accurate details about your vehicle and where it is located. Once you accept our offer, we will arrange collection, so you do not need to drive the car to a buyer or organise a separate drop-off.
Do you offer cash for cars in Lyall Bay without a current WOF?
Yes, you can request a price even if your vehicle does not have a current Warrant of Fitness. We buy vehicles in many conditions, including older, damaged, unwanted, and non-roadworthy cars. You do not need to get a new WOF simply to ask for an offer. Tell us the vehicle's condition and relevant details when requesting your price.
Do you only buy damaged or unwanted cars in Lyall Bay?
No. We buy used vehicles in a wide range of conditions, including newer models, everyday cars, old vehicles, damaged cars, and unwanted vehicles. If you want cash for used cars in Lyall Bay, you can request a price online and decide whether the offer suits you. The same process applies whether your car is running or not.
How quickly will I get paid when I sell my car?
Once you accept the offer and complete the sale, Sell My Salvage aims to get you paid within 24 hours. The exact timing can depend on completing the required sale steps and payment processing. You will not need to wait through weeks of private buyer messages or repeated inspections before moving forward with the sale.
What if my vehicle is difficult to access on pickup day?
Let us know about any access issues when arranging collection. This can include a tight driveway, shared parking area, or other vehicles blocking access. In a busy area, it also helps to ensure the vehicle can be reached safely when our team arrives. We can then consider the collection arrangements and advise you on what needs to be prepared beforehand.
