Methven lives two lives: a ski town in winter and a farming town the rest of the year. Both are hard on vehicles. Ski-field roads, gravel, salt grit and long winters wear cars out, and farm utes do the same in summer. When one is done, we will buy it, collect it from town or farm, and pay you on collection.
Vehicles we buy around Methven
- 4WDs and SUVs worn out by ski-field and back-country roads
- Farm utes and light trucks, running or not
- Cars that have failed a WOF on rust, brakes or suspension
- Crash-damaged and written-off vehicles
- Cars left behind by seasonal workers when they head home
We pay for complete vehicles. If parts have been removed, mention it when you ask for a quote.
Leaving after the season?
Seasonal workers often need to sell a car quickly before flying out. Listing it privately takes time you may not have. Send us the plate and we will give you a firm cash figure and a pickup time before you leave. We handle the NZTA change of ownership so the car is off your name.
Pickup in Methven and the foothills
Methven is about 95 km from Christchurch. We also cover Mayfield, Mount Somers, Staveley, Springburn, Lauriston and the Rakaia Gorge area. Collection is free. Because it is a longer run, we confirm a pickup day with you, and we can work around ski-season traffic.
How it works
Fill in the quote form with your plate and a line about the vehicle. We call or text you with a cash offer. If you accept, we collect it and pay you on the day. No sign-up, no fees and no waiting for bids, because you are dealing with the buyer.
