Sell Your Crashed Car Near Me - Fast, Easy Cash Offers Nationwide

Why Sell a Crashed Car - Not Repair?

After a collision or serious accident, repairing a crashed car can be costly, stressful and time-consuming. For many South African owners, repairs often exceed the retained value of the vehicle, or the car is declared uneconomical to repair. Instead of letting a damaged, non-running car take up space, you can sell your crashed car near you quickly - and avoid the headaches of private buyers, uncertain scrap values, or negotiation hassles.

When Is Selling the Better Option?

• Repair quotes exceed a significant portion of the vehicle's current value.
• Your insurer has written the car off or it's classified as a Code 3 or Code 4 (irreparable/salvage) in South Africa.
• The vehicle is unsafe to drive or cannot start/run after the crash.
• You want to avoid the admin, risk or cost of towing to dealerships, scrap yards or auctions.

Typical Repair Costs vs. Resale Value

Actual figures depend on make, model, damage, and current used car market conditions. In many cases, selling saves you money and time, especially if your crashed car is not roadworthy or deregistered.

What Affects the Value of a Crashed Car?

Cars under finance may need a settlement letter or permission from your loan provider. We guide you through every step to ensure a legal, secure transfer.

Legal Considerations & Paperwork in SA

• All vehicles sold must be deregistered if written off or classed as Code 3/4 - we provide full assistance.
• Proof of ownership and ID copies required to prevent fraud.
• For vehicles still under finance, a settlement letter and banking documentation are often needed.
• We handle all traffic department paperwork to protect you and the buyer.

Tips to Maximise Your Offer

• Upload multiple, clear images showing all angles and damage areas.
• Include service history or receipts, if still available.
• Provide an honest, detailed description of the crash and current status.
• Remove personal belongings and have car documents ready for inspection or pickup.

What Happens After Collection?

Once your crashed car is collected, payment is processed and verified into your account. All paperwork is finalised for legal peace of mind. Salvageable and usable components may be recycled; non-repairable vehicles are processed responsibly via licensed channels.
