Selling a written-off vehicle might seem overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. Whether your car was damaged in an accident, fire, or flood, you can still recover its value. At 360 Pro Auto, we specialize in helping vehicle owners sell written-off cars quickly, safely, and profitably.
In this guide, we’ll show you how to sell a written-off vehicle fast, understand your options, and make sure you get the best possible return.
What Is a Written-Off Vehicle?
A written-off vehicle is one that an insurer deems too costly to repair compared to its pre-damage market value. This doesn’t always mean the car is worthless — far from it.
There are two main types of write-offs:
- Statutory Write-Offs: These cars are too damaged to ever return to the road but can still be sold for parts or scrap.
- Repairable Write-Offs: These vehicles can be repaired, re-certified, and sold again after meeting NZTA safety standards.
At 360 Pro Auto, we help customers identify their vehicle type and find the most profitable selling route.
Why You Should Sell a Written-Off Vehicle fast
Keeping a written-off car can cost more than it’s worth. Here’s why selling is usually the smarter move:
- Avoid Ongoing Costs: Storage, registration, and insurance for a non-drivable vehicle add up quickly.
- Instant Cash Flow: Selling your written-off vehicle puts money back in your pocket immediately.
- Eco-Friendly Disposal: Trusted auto recyclers like 360 Pro Auto ensure safe, environmentally responsible dismantling.
💡 Even if your car seems unsellable, it still holds value for its parts and materials.
How to Sell a Written-Off Vehicle Fast
To sell your written-off vehicle quickly and easily, start by confirming your car’s status through the NZTA Vehicle Report page using your registration or VIN number. This will show whether your vehicle is officially listed as a write-off and what category it falls under. Once confirmed, reach out to 360 Pro Auto for a free, no-obligation valuation.
Our expert team will assess your car’s make, model, and damage level to provide a fair and accurate cash offer.
