Why choose a cash sale for a non-running car?

• Eliminate towing and storage headaches - we arrange free collection anywhere in Durban.
• Simplify admin: we assist with transfer and deregistration steps to reduce your time and risk.

What we buy - common scenarios in Durban

We buy non-running cars from private owners and small fleet operators in Durban, Umhlanga, Pinetown and neighbouring areas. Typical situations include major engine or gearbox failure, flood-damaged vehicles after heavy rains, accident-written-off cars and long-term non-starters. If you want to avoid arranging repairs or parting out the vehicle yourself, our service offers a straightforward alternative. For more detail on selling non-running vehicles, see our Sell Non-Running Car page.

Local considerations for Durban sellers

Durban’s coastal environment can affect vehicles (salt exposure, flood risks). Transparent descriptions and photos help produce an accurate quote. If your vehicle is under finance, we explain the settlement steps so transfer is clean and compliant with South African regulations.
