Why sell flood-damaged cars instead of repairing?

• Repairs for flood damage often expose hidden faults (electrical, corrosion) that are costly to fix and can reappear.
• Selling as scrap avoids months of downtime, towing costs and the risk of incomplete repairs.
• We provide a transparent cash offer based on current salvage demand and parts value in the South African market.

What we buy

Flood-affected, waterlogged, non-running or heavily corroded vehicles - from light cars to bakkies and fleet vehicles. For details on other conditions we accept, see our Sell Damaged Cars page.

Clear value factors we consider

Offers are calculated from vehicle make, model, year, pre-flood market value, extent of water ingress, salvageable parts and current scrap demand in South Africa. We do not rely on vague promises - valuations are based on observable condition and market data.

Damage Type	Typical Offer Impact
Minor water ingress (interior only)	Lower reduction; some components salvageable
Engine/ECU submerged	Significant reduction; likely classified as scrap
Complete flood loss with corrosion	Major reduction; value mainly from parts and metal weight

Practical example: a mid-range sedan with interior water damage but intact drivetrain will generally fetch more than a vehicle with engine submersion. All values quoted during valuation clarify they are offers, not final payouts, until inspection and paperwork are complete.

South Africa-specific notes and tips

• Deregistration help: We assist with paperwork required by local licensing authorities when transferring ownership or deregistering a written-off vehicle.
• Vehicles under finance: If your car has outstanding finance, inform us early so we can coordinate settlement with the financier.
• Salvage market context: Flood-damaged vehicles often move to parts or metal buyers; offers reflect salvageable parts demand in South Africa.

Tips to speed up the sale and get a clearer offer

• Take multiple photos: interior, engine bay, VIN, and full exterior shots.
• Provide honest descriptions: note whether the engine turned after flooding and any smells or visible corrosion.
• Have ID and vehicle papers ready for collection to avoid delays.
