Sell My SUV Damaged in Crash - Fast Cash & Free Nationwide Towing

Quick overview: selling an SUV after a crash

If your SUV was damaged in a crash and is non-running, written off by an insurer, or you simply don’t want the repair hassle, selling it for cash is often the most practical option. Sell Your Damaged Car buys SUVs in any condition across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas - offering free towing, help with paperwork (including deregistration) and a fast payment process.

Our process is built for owners and small fleet managers who need a simple transaction: upload vehicle details and photos, receive a clear cash offer, accept if you wish, and we arrange collection and payment. Use the quick form to Get your free quote or to Upload vehicle details.

Why sell rather than repair?

• Time and cost: major structural or drivetrain repairs on SUVs can be costly; repair estimates of R40,000-R120,000 are common depending on parts and labour, and actual outlay can exceed residual market value for older models (example estimates, South Africa).
• Insurance complexity: if the vehicle is an insurer write-off, selling directly can avoid prolonged claims and storage fees.
• Logistics: arranging towing, sourcing parts and organising reputable panel shops adds delays; selling transfers these burdens to a specialist buyer.

What we accept

We buy SUVs with accident damage, structural frame damage, flood or fire damage, mechanical failure, non-running vehicles and insurer-written-off cars. For more detail on condition categories and the online valuation process see our Sell Damaged Cars page and the description of how we work on our About / How it works page.

Every offer is based on the SUV’s make, model, year, mileage, current condition and local salvage demand. We aim for transparent, competitive cash offers rather than complex negotiations.

How the selling process works (step-by-step)

1. Submit details and photos: provide make, model, year, mileage, a short damage summary and clear images. The online form takes only minutes. 2. Get a clear cash offer: we evaluate condition, market and salvage values and present an obligation-free offer. 3. Accept and schedule collection: once you accept, we confirm the pickup time and arrange free towing. 4. Paperwork and payment: we handle admin (including deregistration where applicable) and release payment promptly after collection.

Practical tips to prepare your SUV

• Take clear photos from multiple angles, including close-ups of damaged areas and odometer reading.
• Gather paperwork: registration, proof of ownership, and any service history if available.
• Note outstanding finance: if the vehicle is under finance, tell us in the form - we’ll explain options to handle settlement and transfer.

Trust and paperwork - South Africa specifics

We work nationwide across major metros and smaller towns and handle the required paperwork, including guidance on deregistration where applicable. If an accident has been reported to the police, keep your case reference ready when you submit details. For more on selling non-running vehicles see our Sell Non-Running Car page.
