Best Price for Accident Damaged Cars - Get a Competitive Cash Offer Nationwide

Why owners search for the best price for accident damaged cars

If your vehicle has been in an accident, deciding whether to repair, keep or sell is hard. Many South African owners want a transparent route to a competitive cash offer without repair costs, towing headaches or long private-sale processes. Sell Your Damaged Car buys accident-damaged, non-running and written-off vehicles in any condition and provides free nationwide towing, paperwork handling and fast payment.

What we buy and how offers are formed

We consider make, model, year, mileage, extent of accident damage and local salvage demand. Offers are market-driven and reflective of the salvage and parts markets in cities like Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban. For a clear explanation of our step-by-step process, see our About / How it works page.

Quick reference: damage types vs typical offer impact

If you want an immediate comparison against other routes (private sale, repair, salvage auction), review our Sell Damaged Cars page for details on what we accept and how valuations are calculated: Sell Damaged Cars.

Key value drivers you can control

• Clear, multiple photos of the damage and vehicle exterior/interior.
• Accurate description of mechanical symptoms, previous repairs and outstanding finance.
• Providing service records or proof of recent parts replacement where available.

For owners of non-running cars, our dedicated guidance is on the Sell Non-Running Car page, where we outline the information that most improves offers.

Practical examples and South Africa context

Example scenarios are illustrative and not offers. A 2012 model with minor bumper and panel damage in Johannesburg may attract a higher salvage-market offer than a similar car with frame damage. Repair cost estimates in South Africa can range widely; for example, minor cosmetic repairs might cost R5,000-R20,000 while major structural or mechanical repairs commonly exceed R40,000. These are examples only - actual valuations depend on vehicle data and salvage demand.

Inclusions, legal notes and trust signals

• Free towing available nationwide, including Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban.
