Hi All

a bit off topic here, just want to know, if i want to sell the car to those car disposal places, what procedures do I have to do?

Do I still have to do those MR13 at the VTNZ?

or do I just fill up this form online https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/transactions/NoticeOfDisposal/entry will do?

can some one please advice

thank you

depends.

long time ago when when I scrapped a car (failed a warrant and wasn't worth fixing) - the scrap yard (pick-a-part wellington) we just did a change of ownership and they did the rest as i wasn't concerned about getting any money for it.

If you are looking for money for it there's some info here at a scrap cars website but best to call around and see what they say.

you just have to fill in the form on the website and thats it. Just dont do what i did and forget as you will be charged a registration fee if it is due. you dont have to remove number plates.

Common sense is not as common as you think.

thank you guys

how about another situation, this car is my family member who is currently oversea? and i will sorting it out on her behalf.

does she need to change the ownership to me first???

what i am thinking is, she fill the form online for the disposal?

and then i fill the form saying i have brought the car?https://transact.nzta.govt.nz/transactions/NoticeOfAcquisition/entry to say it is under my name

please advise

You need to hand in the Number Plates when you deregister it . can do both at VTNZ

Many scrap dealers will pay cash for old cars . They may lie about what $ they pay.
For me, they advertised $300 for any car, but when they turned up would only give me $200 .
