How to Sell an Accident Damaged Car in Pretoria Safely & Securely

Overview: Selling Accident Damaged Cars in Pretoria

If your vehicle has suffered accident damage in Pretoria, you might be wondering how to turn it into cash without the headaches or risks of private sales. At Sell Your Damaged Car, we specialise in helping Pretoria residents sell accident-damaged, non-running, or written-off vehicles safely and conveniently. Our process eliminates common worries like unexpected costs, fraud risk, towing logistics, and complex legal paperwork.

Why Sell, Rather Than Repair?

Repairing a severely damaged car is often far less economical than most owners expect. Accident repairs quickly add up - and may not restore full value or safety, while selling provides a low-risk, fast payout.

Understanding the Legal & Paperwork Requirements in Pretoria

Selling an accident damaged car in Pretoria involves several legal steps. The buyer must handle all registration changes, but as the seller, you are responsible for deregistering the vehicle if it cannot return to the road. Our team assists with official paperwork, including:

• Obtaining and completing the Notification of Change of Ownership (NCO) form with the licensing department
• Assisting with deregistration paperwork for vehicles that are written off or scrapped
• Guiding you through vehicle settlement if it's still under finance*

*If your car is financed, seller settlement and bank release processes apply; our team can clarify every step.

Tips to Maximise Your Cash Offer

• Share clear, well-lit photos of all sides of your vehicle and damage areas.
• Provide full documentation-service history, registration, and any previous repair reports.
• Be honest about all known issues. Transparency avoids offer reductions later.
• Respond quickly to valuation requests-cars losing value can result in lower offers over time.
• Ask about any extra parts, spares, or accessories included-they can add value.

After Collection: What Happens Next?

Once you accept our offer and schedule collection, our local Pretoria team arrives at your address for free towing. On the spot, all necessary paperwork is finalised and payment is processed. If you're scrapping your vehicle, we guide you through final deregistration, so you have peace of mind with no admin headaches left behind.

We serve individuals and business fleets across all Pretoria suburbs and surrounding areas. From new-model sedans with recent accident damage to older, non-running bakkies, we provide a trusted, professional route to safe car disposal and prompt cash payout.
