Examples & practical notes for Durban owners

Example: a non-running bakkie left in a Pietermaritzburg suburb can be collected and towed to a local processing facility serving Durban-area buys; timing and the final offer reflect distance, vehicle condition and salvage market demand. All monetary references follow South African context - figures would use R and are based on appraisal rather than fixed quotes.

Damage type Typical impact on offer
Major structural/rollover Significant reduction; valuation based on salvageable parts
Flood damage Variable - corrosion risk affects value
Mechanical failure (non-running) Offers reflect salvageable components and tow cost savings
