Bay of Plenty wreckers who buy vehicles in any condition and pay up to $15,000 cash on the spot plus free pickup across the Lake Okataina and wider Rotorua Lakes district.
From the lifestyle blocks and rural properties along the Okataina Scenic Reserve road to the farms and back sections dotted around the wider Rotorua Lakes district, we've been buying unwanted vehicles from locals for years. No WOF, no rego, doesn't run, been sitting behind the shed or out in the paddock for a decade it's all the same to us. One phone call gets you a fair cash offer and a free tow-away, usually the same day you ring.
Why let your unwanted vehicle take up space at the bach or on the property? Just call us no obligation.
Click For A Free Online QuoteLake Okataina is one of the most untouched of the Rotorua Lakes, reached via a winding forest road and surrounded by native bush with no lakeside settlement of its own just a scenic reserve, boat ramp and a handful of nearby rural properties and lifestyle blocks. Vehicles used to access the lake, tow boats, or work the surrounding farmland often take a beating on the gravel approach roads, and it's not uncommon for an old ute, trailer-tow vehicle or farm car to eventually be retired for good. Cash For Cars Tauranga (cashforcarstauranga.co.nz) extends its free pickup service out to the Okataina area, so you don't need to arrange your own transport into Rotorua to sell an unwanted vehicle.
