| Type of Damage | Typical Offer Impact | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Minor accident damage | Smaller reduction | Depends on body/paint cost |
| Major mechanical failure | Moderate to significant | Engine/gearbox issues lower value |
| Total write-off/flood/fire | Largest impact | Often for salvage/parts only |
Rest assured: every offer is personalised based on real South African salvage market rates and your supplied information. For extra transparency, you'll always see the process and how value is determined-no unexplained deductions or vague quotes.
In South Africa, selling a damaged or non-running vehicle can be administratively daunting, particularly regarding legal registration, traffic department deregistration, or finance settlements for cars under instalment. We handle the entire process:
| Damage Type | Avg. Repair Cost (R) | % Market Value Kept After Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Minor panel/beading damage | 3,000 - 8,000 | 85-95% |
| Major engine/gearbox failure | 18,000 - 40,000 | 50-65% |
| Write-off/structural damage | Rarely viable | 30-45% |
These values are South Africa estimates-real-world figures vary with brand, model, parts prices, and market trends. In most cases, direct cash sale online eliminates risk and further loss.
Once your car is collected, you'll receive prompt payment and a record of the transaction. The deregistration process is handled with the relevant traffic department, clearing your name from future liabilities, and if your vehicle was written-off, it's processed for parts or legal salvage reuse. For vehicles under finance, we'll work with you every step to clear outstanding amounts and finalise transfer.
Seasoned automotive specialists dedicated to helping you turn your damaged or non-running vehicle into cash fast and hassle-free.
