Repair or Sell? Comparing Costs in Pretoria
Choosing between repairing a non-running car and selling can be tough. Factors like mechanic availability, parts costs, and time off the road all play a role. Here's a Pretoria-focused look at cost versus value retained:
| Scenario | Average Repair Cost (R) | % Value Retained After Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Engine Overhaul | 30,000 - 65,000 | 45 - 60% |
| Major Accident Damage | 40,000 - 100,000+ | 40 - 55% |
| Electronics/ECU Failure | 12,000 - 25,000 | 55 - 70% |
In many Pretoria cases, repairs cost more than the subsequent resale value. That's why direct sale to a specialist often makes financial sense.
How the Online Selling Process Works in Pretoria
- Upload your vehicle's details and photos online. Specify Pretoria as the collection location.

Legal & Paperwork in South Africa: What You Need to Know
Selling a non-running vehicle in Pretoria requires proper deregistration and transfer documentation by law. We guide you through:
- Form NCO (Notification of Change of Ownership) registration at any Pretoria registering authority
- Deregistering code 3 or salvage vehicles
- Assisting with settlement for vehicles with outstanding finance (subject to financier consent)
- Receiving a proof of payment and sale agreement
Our team manages the compliance steps for you, minimising risk and preventing future liability for traffic fines or e-Toll bills.

- Accurately describe the car's condition, including any parts removed or additional damage.
- Upload clear, well-lit photos: front, rear, sides, inside, and the odometer if accessible.
- Provide service history or records, if available - these improve valuation, even on non-running units.
- Have registration papers and ID ready to speed up the offer process.
