CarBuy, direct used vehicle buying in New Zealand

CarBuy is a used-car buying service operating in New Zealand under the domain carbuy.co.nz. Its proposition is to purchase the vehicle directly from the owner, without market intermediaries or dealership appraisals, and to complete the transaction at the same location where the car is. The company presents itself as an agile alternative for those who need to sell a car without travelling or negotiating with third parties.

How the selling process works

The procedure begins with a request for an estimated offer through the online form. From there, CarBuy inspects the vehicle, confirms the final offer and pays the amount by bank transfer. The company states that payment is made on the spot and that the money reaches the seller's account quickly. The service includes an agent travelling to the customer's home or office, at the time and place agreed by the customer.

Before starting the request, the website asks you to confirm that the vehicle meets the buying criteria established by the company. The form requests the plate number as the first piece of information to process the offer.
