Why Sell Your Accident Damaged Car in Durban?

Owning a car that's been in an accident can be stressful-especially when repairs are expensive or the vehicle can no longer be safely driven. In Durban, private sales are complicated by low offers, risk of scams, and costly towing. With Sell Your Damaged Car, Durban vehicle owners have a simple, low-risk way to turn an accident-damaged car into immediate cash while skipping admin headaches.

Did you know? Many Durban insurers will write off damaged vehicles, but that doesn't mean your car is worthless. We provide fair, market-based valuations and buy any make or model, regardless of condition.

Should You Repair or Sell?

After an accident, it's not always financially sensible to repair your car. Factors such as the cost of parts, loss of resale value, and future reliability should all be weighed up. Here's a basic breakdown for Durban owners:

Vehicle Condition	Estimated Repair Cost (R)	Value Retained	Selling Outcome
Minor body damage	R10,000-R30,000	60-80%	DIY sale still possible
Major structural damage	R40,000-R100,000+	<50%	Sell as-is recommended
Non-running or written off	Often exceeds car value	0-20%	Sell for cash/parts

In most accident cases, especially in the greater Durban area, immediate selling is the more practical, cost-effective choice. This is especially true if:

Repairs surpass the vehicle's value
Insurance has declared the car a total loss or uneconomical to repair
The car is undriveable or creates ongoing admin hassles

Types of Accident Damage We Buy in Durban

Damage Type	Impact on Offer
Panel & body damage	Low to moderate reduction (easy to resell/strip)
Frame/structural damage	Greater reduction, but still buyable
Airbag deployed, electrical or engine failure	Medium reduction, depends on severity
Written-off or not starting	Usually reflects scrap/parts value, but instant offers available

Each offer is tailored to the damage and market demand for your make and model. Photos and accurate details will help us provide a quick, transparent valuation.

Don't delay-values fall if the vehicle is left standing or exposed to the Durban climate
