Sell a Car with Engine Failure - Towing in Bloemfontein Made Easy

Overview: selling a car with engine failure in Bloemfontein

If your vehicle has suffered engine failure, is non-running, or would need an expensive rebuild, selling it to a specialist buyer can save time and ongoing costs. Sell Your Damaged Car buys vehicles in any condition, offers straightforward online valuation and arranges towing and admin so you don’t have to manage collection or deregistration yourself. This page explains how selling an engine-failed car in Bloemfontein works, what to expect, and why towing support matters.

Why sell instead of repairing?

Major engine repairs or replacements can quickly exceed a vehicle’s market value, especially on older or high-mileage models. Selling avoids long repair timelines, unexpected additional faults and ongoing storage costs. We buy engine-failed vehicles, arrange collection and issue a clear, competitive cash offer based on condition and local salvage demand in South Africa.

What we handle for Bloemfontein sellers

• Assistance with paperwork and deregistration where required.

Towing and logistics - Bloemfontein specifics

We coordinate local collection times to avoid peak-hour delays and confirm vehicle access details upfront. Typical private towing costs in Bloemfontein if arranged privately can range between R400-R1,200 depending on distance and vehicle condition; choosing a specialist buyer that includes towing removes that variable from your sale process (figures are estimates and depend on circumstances).

Paperwork, finance and deregistration

If your vehicle is still under finance, inform the lender - sales proceed but settlement of the finance account is required. We can guide you through the transfer or deregistration steps and provide documentation to complete the transaction. For detailed steps on selling a non-running vehicle, see our Sell Non-Running Car page.

What happens after collection

After collection we complete verification and process payment to your nominated bank account. You’ll receive copies of the sale paperwork and any receipts needed for deregistration. The vehicle is then handled through salvage or parts channels depending on condition and demand.
