Repairing a non-running vehicle can be expensive and time-consuming. For many owners in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas, converting an unusable manual hatchback into cash is quicker and lower risk than investing in unknown repairs. We evaluate each vehicle based on condition, market demand and parts value, then give a transparent offer you can accept or decline.
| Issue | How it affects an offer |
|---|---|
| Seized/dragging engine | Lower offer due to repair or part-out costs |
| Major gearbox damage | Significant impact unless high parts demand |
| Cosmetic/structural accident damage | Varies by severity; structural issues reduce offers more |
| Missing keys or immobiliser faults | Minor to moderate reduction depending on access needed |
For an initial indication tailored to your car, use our fast online valuation on the homepage or the dedicated Sell Non-Running Car page to upload details and photos. Using clear photos and honest descriptions helps us give a fair, transparent offer quickly.
This option is ideal for private owners and small fleet operators who want to avoid repair uncertainty, towing costs and the time drain of private listings. Whether you’re in an inner city suburb of Johannesburg, a suburb of Cape Town or a coastal area near Durban, nationwide collection simplifies the process.
Our process is built for convenience: upload your vehicle details and photos, receive an offer, accept if you’re happy, then we handle towing, paperwork and payment. Typical timeline: online quote within hours, collection arranged within days, payment released after we verify collection.
We assist with the transfer paperwork and can advise when a vehicle is still under finance. If there is a finance balance, settlement or lender approval may be required before transfer. We also support deregistration where applicable to remove the vehicle from your name, reducing administrative follow-up for you. For more on how we handle administration, see our How it works page.
Example: A manual hatchback with a seized engine in Pretoria may receive a lower offer than the same model with only a starter motor issue, because full engine replacement is costly. Offers consider typical South African part demand and salvage values; prices vary by region and condition. We aim to provide a transparent, competitive cash offer based on the specifics you supply.
