Selling a non-running vehicle in Pretoria Metro? Get a competitive cash offer, free towing across Tshwane, paperwork support and quick payment with Sell Your Damaged Car.
If your vehicle won't start, has major mechanical faults or was written off, Sell Your Damaged Car buys non-running vehicles in Pretoria Metro and the Tshwane area. We offer a quick online valuation, free towing across Pretoria (including Centurion, Hatfield and Akasia), help with paperwork and near-instant payment once the vehicle is collected.
We purchase non-running cars, trucks and light commercial vehicles in any condition: engines seized, transmission failures, flood-affected, accident-written-off, or long-term stationary vehicles. Whether you are a private owner or manage a small fleet in Pretoria, our process is designed to remove logistics and admin headaches.
Repair costs in South Africa can quickly exceed a vehicle's residual value, particularly for older models or heavy mechanical damage. Selling your non-running vehicle to a specialist converts an illiquid asset into cash and removes storage, towing and disposal costs.
| Typical Issue | Estimated Repair Cost (R) | Value Retained After Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Engine replacement | R25,000 - R60,000 | Often lower than repair cost for older cars |
| Major transmission work | R15,000 - R45,000 | Value increase variable; depends on vehicle age |
| Electrical/fire damage | R10,000 - R40,000 | Often uneconomical for older vehicles |
Numbers above are illustrative ranges for South Africa and vary by vehicle make, age and parts availability. If repair cost approaches or exceeds the retained market value, selling your non-running vehicle is usually the more practical option.
Service note: We operate across Tshwane and surrounding suburbs. Free collection covers secure parking areas, commercial yards and private addresses within the Pretoria Metro service area.

We help with the paperwork required when selling a non-running vehicle in South Africa. If the vehicle is registered in your name, we assist with transfer and deregistration steps. For vehicles under finance, we provide guidance so you can obtain a settlement figure from the finance house and close the account safely. Always check your finance agreement and obtain written confirmation of any settlement before finalising the sale.
| Damage Type | Typical Impact on Offer |
|---|---|
| Mechanical non-running (engine/transmission) | Reduced offer; depends on salvageable parts and demand |
| Accident-written-off | Affected by structural damage; offers reflect salvage component value |
| Flood/fire damage | Often significant reduction; parts and salvage market determine price |
Example: A non-running light commercial bakkie in Centurion with a seized engine may attract a competitive cash offer because parts and chassis have resale demand in the area. Example: A private sedan left immobile in an upmarket Pretoria suburb for months may incur storage and battery degradation-selling sooner typically preserves more value. All examples are illustrative and final offers depend on inspection and details provided.
Once you accept the offer and we collect the vehicle, we verify paperwork, handle deregistration where applicable and release payment. Payment is made quickly and securely to the bank details you provide. We keep records of the transaction and provide the necessary receipts to finalise transfer of ownership in accordance with South African requirements.
Seasoned automotive specialists dedicated to helping you turn your damaged or non-running vehicle into cash fast and hassle-free.
