2. Receive an obligation-free valuation based on condition, year and market demand. The offer will list inclusions such as free towing and paperwork handling and note any exclusions.
3. Accept the offer and confirm a pickup date. We coordinate free towing nationwide and take care of transfer paperwork and deregistration guidance where required.
4. Collection and payment: once the vehicle is collected and documents verified, payment is released. Our process is designed to provide fast payment, with funds typically sent immediately after verification.
We follow standard South African vehicle transfer practices and help with deregistration where applicable. If a vehicle is under finance, we provide clear guidance so settlement or lender approval does not hold up payment. For non-running and written-off cars, selling to a specialist reduces the storage and administrative burden that can delay funds.
