Sell Non-Runner Car in Cape Town - Fast Cash, Free Towing

Quick overview: Selling a non-runner in Cape Town

If your car won't start, has mechanical failure after an accident, or is a written-off non-runner, selling to a specialist buyer is often faster and simpler than attempting repairs or a private sale. We buy vehicles in any condition across Cape Town and surrounding areas, arrange free towing, handle the admin including deregistration, and provide fast payment after collection.

Why choose a specialist buyer for a non-running car

Private sales of non-runners can be time-consuming, require local collection arrangements and risk low offers. A specialist removes those friction points: you submit photos and details, receive a transparent cash offer, and choose a convenient collection time. Learn more about how our process works on our About / How it works page.
