If your vehicle has been in an accident, is written off, or no longer runs, selling to a specialist streamlines the process. We buy cars in any condition, arrange free nationwide towing, manage the paperwork including deregistration, and release fast payment after collection.
We purchase accident-damaged, non-running, fire- or flood-affected, written-off and salvage vehicles from private owners and small business fleets across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding regions. Whether the car is lightly damaged or a major collision write-off, you can get a transparent, no-obligation cash offer online.
Selling privately can mean towing costs, lengthy negotiations and admin headaches. A specialist removes logistics and handles documentation. For details about our approach and background, see our About us page.
Offers depend on vehicle data, repairability, market demand for parts and salvage interest. Below is a quick comparison to help set expectations (figures are illustrative categories, not offers).
| Damage Type | Typical Impact on Offer |
|---|---|
| Minor accident (cosmetic/front bumper) | Lower repair cost - moderate reduction from market value |
| Major structural damage | Significant reduction; valued more for parts/salvage |
| Fire or flood damage | Heavily impacted due to electrical/mechanical loss |
| Non-running / seized engine | Reduced offer; sometimes valued for donor parts |
For examples of vehicles that no longer run, see our Sell Non-Running Car page for more on how offers are assessed.
Note: market demand can change seasonally and by region; offers for parts-heavy models may be stronger in major metros like Johannesburg and Cape Town.
Once you accept, we arrange free towing from your location anywhere in South Africa. Our team completes the required paperwork, assists with deregistration where applicable, and coordinates collection from private addresses, repair shops or storage yards in metros and surrounding areas.
We provide a written sales agreement and handle transfer documentation. If the vehicle is still under finance, we work with you and the finance provider to settle or provide the correct settlement instructions. Deregistration and transfer processes follow standard South African regulations; for more on our process and admin support see our Sell Damaged Cars page.
Timing matters: prolonged storage can increase deterioration. In many cases, selling sooner reduces additional wear and can result in a stronger salvage-market offer. All sample figures in discussions on this page are illustrative; actual offers depend on vehicle data and current market demand. Payments are made in South African Rand (R) and are released once collection and paperwork are completed and verified.
