No WOF? No Problem.

A lot of Nelson locals wrongly assume that if a vehicle doesn’t have a WOF, it can’t be sold.

In reality, you can absolutely sell a car without a Warrant of Fitness, and we at Cash For Cars Nelson specialise in helping you do just that — legally, quickly, and with no stress.

Why Cars Lose Their WOF?

  • Brake, suspension, or tyre issues

  • Structural rust or accident damage

  • Electrical or lighting failures

  • Emissions or exhaust issues

  • Simply too old to be worth repairing

Whatever the reason — if it’s not road legal, it still has value to us.

What Do You Need to Sell?

Selling a car with no WOF is perfectly legal as long as you:

  • Own the vehicle

  • Have ID and basic details

  • Disclose the condition honestly

  • Use an as-is, where-is agreement (we take care of that!)

We’ll even help you deregister the vehicle and notify NZTA.

Benefits of Selling Without a WOF

  • ✅ No repair costs or inspections

  • ✅ No hassle listing on Trade Me or Facebook

  • ✅ No strangers visiting your property

  • Instant payment on pickup

You get top cash, a free tow, and a clean driveway — all in one go.
