Paperwork, finance and legal notes for Pretoria sellers

If the vehicle is still under finance, we work with you and the finance house to settle outstanding balances and issue a clear settlement receipt - this avoids delays in payment. As regulations and procedures can vary, our team follows South African requirements and provides guidance specific to Pretoria locations.

What affects offers and how to get the best outcome

Offers reflect the vehicle’s condition, year, make/model, salvage demand and parts value in the Pretoria market. To help get the most competitive cash offer: provide clear photos (interior, engine bay, exterior and damage close-ups), accurate vehicle history, and confirm any outstanding finance. For non-running vehicles with fire damage, check our Sell Non-Running Car guidance to prepare details that speed valuation.
