Written-off vehicles often have limited resale windows and specific salvage demand. Selling to a specialist avoids advertising to unqualified buyers, towing logistics and lengthy negotiations. Our process reduces your admin burden - we handle transfer paperwork and deregistration steps relevant to South African vehicles and arrange collection from anywhere in Pretoria, from Lynnwood to Soshanguve.
| Damage type | Typical offer impact |
|---|---|
| Structural/frame damage | Significantly lowers offers due to safety repair costs |
| Engine/transmission failure | Moderate to large reduction depending on parts value |
| Cosmetic/airbag deployed | Smaller reduction if mechanical systems intact |
Local note: Pretoria’s proximity to parts suppliers and breakers can support stronger offers for models in demand locally, but offers still depend on condition and paperwork.
| Estimated repair cost (R) | Typical value retained if repaired |
|---|---|
| R5,000 - R20,000 | Small increase; often not worth for older cars |
| R20,000 - R60,000 | May be viable for newer models; balance against downtime |
| R60,000+ | Often better to sell as salvage unless vehicle has high retail value |
