| Damage type | Typical effect on offer |
|---|---|
| Front or side impact | Moderate to significant reduction, depending on structural damage |
| Mechanical failure (non-start) | Reduction varies by engine/transmission value and repair cost |
| Flood or water damage | Typically significant reduction due to electrical and corrosion risk |
| Spares-or-repair / salvage | Offer based on parts demand and scrap/salvage value |
| Repair example | Typical repair cost (R, estimate) | Likely effect on resale value |
|---|---|---|
| Minor bumper & panel work | R3,000 - R12,000 | May recover some value but not always cost-effective |
| Major structural or engine repair | R20,000 - R100,000+ | Often uneconomic vs selling as damaged |
If your car sits in a yard for weeks, corrosion and vandalism can increase repair costs - selling sooner often preserves more value. For fleet owners in Gauteng, bulk handling and scheduled collections are available; see our company overview for details on administration and collection options on the About / How it works page.
