Being involved in a car accident can be stressful enough without having to work out what to do with a damaged vehicle afterwards. If your car has been badly damaged, is no longer safe to drive, or the cost of repairs is more than the vehicle is worth, accident car removal may be the easiest option.

ZM Auto helps vehicle owners across Hamilton and the Waikato sell and remove unwanted, damaged and accident-damaged cars. Whether your vehicle is badly damaged, no longer running, or simply not worth repairing, there may still be value in it.

What Should You Do With an Accident-Damaged Car?

After an accident, you may have several options depending on the extent of the damage and your circumstances.

• Repair the vehicle and return it to the road
• Contact your insurance company about the vehicle
• Sell the damaged vehicle
• Arrange removal of the vehicle
• Sell the vehicle for parts or scrap

If repairs are going to be expensive or the vehicle has been seriously damaged, selling it rather than repairing it may be worth considering.

Can You Sell an Accident-Damaged Car?

Yes. Accident-damaged vehicles can still have value.

Even when a vehicle cannot be safely driven, it may contain usable components and recyclable materials. The value will depend on factors such as the vehicle's condition, age, make, model and the extent of the damage.

When Does Accident Car Removal Make Sense?

Accident car removal can be a practical option when repairing the vehicle is no longer financially worthwhile or when you simply don't want to keep a badly damaged vehicle.

It may be worth considering if:

• The vehicle has extensive accident damage
• The repair estimate is very high
• The vehicle is no longer running
• The car has suffered major mechanical damage
• The vehicle has failed its WOF and needs expensive repairs
• You no longer want to keep the damaged vehicle
• The car is taking up space at your property

What Happens to an Accident-Damaged Car?

The next step depends on the condition of the vehicle. Some accident-damaged vehicles may have usable parts that can be recovered, while other vehicles may be suitable for recycling or scrap.

Vehicles can contain many components that may still have value, even when the vehicle itself is no longer economical to repair.

Can You Sell a Car That Has Been Written Off?

If your vehicle has been involved in an accident and has been assessed as uneconomical to repair, there may still be options for disposing of or selling the vehicle.

If an insurer is involved, it is important to understand the insurer's process and ownership arrangements before attempting to sell the vehicle.

Do You Need to Move the Car Yourself?

One of the biggest problems with accident-damaged vehicles is getting them from their current location to a buyer.

If the vehicle cannot be driven, arranging transport yourself can be difficult and expensive.
