Sell Non-Running Car with Free Tow in South Africa - Fast Cash Offers

What We Buy and Why It Helps

We purchase cars in any condition: non-starters, engine-failed, accident-damaged, flood-affected or written-off. Selling a non-running car can avoid continued storage costs, towing fees and the uncertainty of private buyers who may not be equipped to collect or finance repairs.

Common non-running causes and how they affect offers

Offers are based on vehicle data, condition and the local salvage market. Our transparent valuations explain how condition and location affect the cash offer. For more on the kinds of vehicles we buy, see our Sell Non-Running Car page and our Sell Damaged Cars page for examples of accepted conditions.

Why free towing matters in South Africa

• Non-running vehicles can incur large transport fees - free nationwide towing removes that barrier for sellers in metros and remote towns alike.
• We coordinate collection times to suit your schedule and arrange reliable tow operators across major centres such as Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.
• Free towing is included as part of the sale process - you don’t need to arrange transport or storage.

Important notes for sellers in South Africa

If the vehicle is still under finance, you should inform your lender before completing a sale - outstanding debt can affect the transfer process. We can work with you to coordinate settlements or advise on typical next steps. All amounts discussed are quoted in South African rand (R) and offers reflect condition and market demand; examples given in discussions are illustrative and not guaranteed.

Trust & transparency

We provide a clear breakdown of how offers are calculated and handle the logistics so you don’t have to. Photos and accurate descriptions help us provide better offers - include multiple angles and visible odometer or VIN shots when you upload.
