Got an Eye-Sore in the Driveway? We Buy Unwanted Vehicles for Cash!

At Dunedin Cash for Cars, we specialize in professional unwanted vehicle removal Dunedin residents trust to clear their property and pad their wallets.

Is that rusted, non-running sedan finally starting to bother the neighbors? Or perhaps you have a van that has sat stationary for so long it’s become part of the landscaping? Whatever the case, you don’t have to look at it anymore. At Dunedin Cash for Cars, we specialize in professional unwanted vehicle removal Dunedin residents trust to clear their property and pad their wallets. We understand that an old car quickly transitions from a “future project” to a genuine eye-sore that gathers dust, leaks fluids, and takes up premium real estate in your garage or driveway. Our service is designed to turn that source of stress into a source of income, providing a seamless, same-day solution for getting rid of any vehicle, regardless of its age or condition.

The Hidden Costs of Keeping an Unwanted Vehicle

Many homeowners think that leaving an old car in the driveway is harmless. However, an “eye-sore” vehicle can actually cost you more than you realize:

  • Pest Infestations: Stationary cars are perfect hotels for rodents and spiders. Once they set up camp in the car, it’s only a matter of time before they move into your home.
  • Environmental Hazards: Older vehicles often leak oil, transmission fluid, and coolant. These chemicals seep into your driveway and eventually wash into Dunedin’s beautiful waterways.
  • Council Fines: In many parts of Dunedin, keeping “de-registered” or “wrecked” vehicles in visible areas can lead to complaints and potential fines from the local council.
  • Lost Opportunity: That space could be used for a new car, a home workshop, or simply a clean, open area for your kids to play.

Why Dunedin Cash for Cars is the Best Choice

When you decide it’s time for unwanted vehicle removal Dunedin, you want a company that is reliable, local, and fair. Here is why Dunedin Cash for Cars stands out from the competition:

  • Instant Cash Offers

We don’t believe in making you wait. When we arrive to pick up your vehicle, we pay you on the spot. No “cheque is in the mail” and no bank transfer delays. You get the cash you deserve the moment the car is hooked up to our truck.

  • Free Towing and Removal

Some scrap metal yards will ask you to pay for the towing service, which can eat up half of the car’s value. With us, the removal is 100% free. Whether your car is parked on a flat driveway or stuck in a muddy paddock on the outskirts of town, we handle the logistics at no cost to you.

  • We Buy All Makes and Models

Whether it’s a classic Toyota Hilux that’s finally clocked its last kilometer, a European sedan with a blown head gasket, or a tiny hatchback that’s been in a fender-bender—we want it. We buy Japanese, European, American, and Korean vehicles in any state.

Frequently Asked Questions

“Do I need the keys to sell my car?”

While having the keys is helpful for steering and loading, it isn’t a requirement. If you’ve lost the keys to that old wreck, we can still winch it onto our truck.

“What paperwork do I need?”

Just a form of photo ID (like a driver’s license) so we can verify the transaction. We handle the NZTA (Waka Kotahi) paperwork to ensure the vehicle is correctly disposed of and you are no longer liable for it.

“How much cash will I get?”

The price depends on the weight of the vehicle, the current price of scrap metal, and whether there are any high-value parts we can salvage. However, we guarantee a competitive, honest price for every customer.
