| Damage type | How it affects offers |
|---|---|
| Minor accident damage | Lower repair costs, smaller impact on offers - depends on structural integrity. |
| Structural or frame damage | Significant reduction in retail value; buyers price for salvageable parts or scrap. |
| Non-running / mechanical failure | Offers vary by engine/transmission condition and parts demand. |
| Flood or fire damage | Often classified as written-off; buyers price for salvage and components. |
Note: Every vehicle is assessed individually - offers depend on model, year, parts demand and local salvage market conditions in South Africa.
