If your car won’t start, has major mechanical failure, or is written off after an accident, you can get an offer for your non-running vehicle quickly. Sell Your Damaged Car provides a straightforward online valuation, free nationwide towing, paperwork handling (including deregistration) and fast payment.
Owners in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas often find repair costs, storage and downtime add up. Requesting an offer helps you decide between costly repairs and a clear, competitive cash option. We buy vehicles in any condition - accident-damaged, mechanical failures, flood-damaged, fire-affected or completely non-running - and handle collection and admin.
Private owners with a non-running vehicle, small fleet managers with decommissioned units, or anyone facing high repair bills can get an offer without upfront costs. To start, visit our Sell Non-Running Car page and upload photos and details. If you want to know more about how we operate, check our How it works overview.
Quick note: Offers depend on vehicle make, model, year, visible damage, and salvage demand. We provide a competitive cash offer, not an appraisal guaranteeing specific resale prices.
Getting an offer for your non-running vehicle typically follows a four-step flow:
Several factors influence the final offer: extent of mechanical damage, visible bodywork or structural issues, vehicle age and demand for parts. Our valuations reflect current salvage market conditions in South Africa and the likely cost to recover or dismantle the vehicle.
| Damage type | Typical offer impact |
|---|---|
| Minor mechanical (non-starting) | Moderate reduction; parts/bulk demand can retain value |
| Major engine/transmission failure | Lower offers due to heavy repair costs |
| Accident structural damage / written-off | Offer depends on repair vs salvage economics |
| Flood or fire damage | Typically significant reduction; parts market varies |
We assist with the admin required to transfer ownership or deregister a vehicle in South Africa. If your vehicle is still under finance, inform your lender before completing the sale so outstanding balances can be settled. For a clear explanation of what we handle, see our Sell Damaged Cars page. To start the valuation and get an offer right away, upload your vehicle details.
How fast is an offer? Most online submissions get a response within hours during business days. Is towing really free? Yes - nationwide collection for accepted offers is arranged at no cost to you. Will you buy cars still under finance? You must disclose finance liens so we can coordinate settlement with the lender.
