How it works
List your vehicle for free. Dealers bid. Cash in your account in as little as 48 hours.
Mairovo replaces the slow, scattergun way of selling privately with a fast, one-to-many sealed-bid auction that puts your car in front of every relevant trade buyer in NZ.
Non-exclusive: list with us while your car is on Trade Me, Facebook Marketplace or anywhere else. You're never obliged to accept an offer, and you can withdraw in one click.
Enter your vehicle details
Fill out your make, model, year, body type, fuel type, and most recent odometer reading. We'll help you snap a few photos on your phone, ask a few quick questions about the vehicle, and you're done.
Set your asking price
We can't guarantee you'll get offers at this exact number, but Mairovo pitches your vehicle to our dealer members, and you'll receive offers at a price they're happy to pay.
Offers arrive — Mira talks you through them
Sealed-bid offers land within 48 hours, each one from a registered dealer member. Mira, our AI, walks you through every offer — whether the dealer's based near you or elsewhere in the country, how their offer compares to the others, and their score from past interactions on the platform. Then it's your pick.
Verify and sign
The winning dealer might come back with a question or two, or it could be a straight-up offer. Once you accept, the dealer agrees, transfers the funds, and — once those funds land — you sign the change-of-ownership notice.
Hand over the keys
In your region? Arrange pickup or drop-off directly with the dealer. Out of region? The buying dealer arranges transport. Mairovo never holds your funds — they go straight from the dealer's bank to yours.
Why this beats the alternatives
A wholesale auction, in your pocket.
vs. other marketplaces
Listing fees, success fees, weeks of "is this still available?" messages, tyre-kickers, lost weekends, no-shows, dodgy test drives — and dealers messaging you pretending to be private buyers. On Mairovo, you list for free and only receive bids from verified trade buyers.
vs. car-buying companies
One company, one offer, take it or leave it. Mairovo puts dozens of trade buyers in competition on your car at the same time.
vs. auction houses
Auctions take a 5–8% buyer's premium that gets worked back into your trade-in price. Mairovo charges no buyer's premium on the consumer side.
What's protected
Your rights, your data, your money.
Privacy Act 2020
Your rego and personal details are only shared with verified trade buyers on the platform. We never sell your data, and you can delete your listing any time.
MVSA 2003 compliant
Every trade buyer on Mairovo is a Registered Motor Vehicle Trader with a verified licence number. We check the register before any buyer gets access.
No money held by us
Funds move directly from the trade buyer's bank account to yours. Mairovo never sits in the middle of your money — only the deal flow. Same-bank transfers are typically close to instant; different-bank transfers usually clear within about an hour during business hours (not guaranteed). It's fine to wait until the funds have actually landed before handing over the vehicle.
