If your car is marked Code 3 - commonly understood as a written-off or salvage classification by insurers - you don’t need to wait or negotiate private sales. Sell Your Damaged Car buys Code 3, accident-damaged and non-running vehicles in Durban and across South Africa, handling towing, paperwork and payment so you can move on quickly.
Code 3 vehicles often face tighter markets and extra admin. Using a specialist streamlines the sale: we value condition, salvage demand and location to give a transparent cash offer, arrange free towing from Durban suburbs and surrounding areas, and finalise payment after collection.
| Damage type | Typical impact on offers |
|---|---|
| Structural/frame damage | Significant reduction; often classified Code 3 or salvage |
| Mechanical failure (non-running) | Variable - depends on parts value and ease of repair |
We know Durban’s logistics: whether you’re in the CBD, Bluff, or further inland, our towing partners collect nationwide at no extra cost. Learn more about how our service works on our About / How it works page.
After you upload details, our valuation team reviews the photos and condition to produce a transparent cash offer. If you accept, we arrange collection and complete the paperwork - including assistance with deregistration where required - and release payment once the vehicle is collected and verified.
| Repair cost (estimate) | Typical value retained |
|---|---|
| Minor repairs (R5,000-R20,000) | Often worth repairing for lower-cost issues; depends on age/mileage |
| Major structural/engine repairs (R20,000+) | Frequently uneconomical - selling as Code 3 salvage is a practical option |
Note: repair cost ranges above are illustrative estimates for South Africa (R). Actual figures vary by make, model and extent of damage.
We focus on a low-friction sale: quick online valuation, honest offers, free collection and administrative support.
