Struggling with a car that has gearbox issues in Johannesburg? Sell your non-running or transmission-faulty vehicle for cash. Free towing, minimal paperwork, secure payment.
A faulty gearbox is often expensive to repair and can prevent a quick sale through private channels or dealerships. If you own a car in Johannesburg that's non-running or unreliable due to transmission issues, Sell Your Damaged Car offers a practical alternative: sell your car as-is for cash. Our specialist service means you don't need to worry about repair costs, failed test drives, or towing it anywhere. We serve all of Johannesburg and surrounding areas, handling the collection and paperwork for you.
Professional Car Buyers Specialise in: Vehicles with major transmission faults, even if non-running, and offer collection wherever you are in Johannesburg.
Deciding whether to repair the gearbox or sell depends on the vehicle's age, value, and your situation. Here's a typical cash flow comparison for South African owners:
| Scenario | Estimated Repair Cost | Value Increase | Net Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repair Gearbox | R25,000 - R70,000 | R15,000 - R40,000 | Often a loss, especially with older cars |
| Sell As-Is | R0 | Quick cash offer | No outlay, immediate payment |
For many vehicles, especially those older than 7-8 years or with high mileage, repairing the gearbox may not boost market value enough to recover your spend. Selling through a dedicated service can save you further losses and time.
When selling a non-running or damaged vehicle in South Africa, there are essential legal steps to protect both buyer and seller. Sell Your Damaged Car simplifies this process:
