Have a written-off car in West Auckland? Whether it's an insurance statutory write-off or an economic write-off, we pay top cash and remove it for free. In many cases, we pay significantly more than your insurer's salvage valuation.
Types of Write-Offs We Buy
Statutory Write-Off
A statutory write-off (SWO) is a vehicle so severely damaged it can never be registered for road use again β it's permanently removed from the road. The vehicle is crushed or dismantled. Despite this, it often has substantial parts and scrap value.
Economic Write-Off
An economic write-off (EWO) is a vehicle where repair costs exceed the vehicle's value. The vehicle can still be repaired and re-registered β and often fetches better prices because of this. We can potentially buy and repair or on-sell an EWO, justifying a higher payment to you.
Written-Off Car Values in West Auckland
Write-off values depend on:
- Make and model (popular models have better parts markets)
- Extent of damage (front-end vs total loss)
- Age and pre-accident value
- SWO vs EWO status
We typically pay $500β$12,000 for write-offs in West Auckland β but call us for your specific vehicle. We almost always offer more than the standard salvage platforms.
Should You Sell Your Write-Off to Us or Through the Insurer?
If your insurer is retaining the salvage as part of your settlement, you have no choice. But if they've paid you out and left the vehicle with you, call us first. We frequently pay 30β60% more than standard salvage buyers because we recover parts value, not just scrap metal.
