If you need to sell an old company car that has gearbox problems, you can avoid costly repairs, downtime and disposal headaches by selling to a specialist buyer. Sell Your Damaged Car buys vehicles in any condition, including fleet cars with mechanical faults. We provide a straightforward online valuation, free towing across South Africa, assistance with paperwork (including deregistration) and fast payment after collection.
We purchase company and fleet vehicles with gearbox issues whether they are manual or automatic, running or non-running, accident-damaged or simply end-of-life. Typical scenarios include vehicles with intermittent gear engagement, slipping, transmission noise, or complete gearbox failure. For more on selling a non-running vehicle, see Sell Non-Running Car.
| Repair option | Typical South Africa cost (est.) | Value retained after repair |
|---|---|---|
| Rebuild gearbox | R15,000 - R40,000 | Often limited; depends on vehicle age and mileage |
| Replace with reconditioned unit | R20,000 - R60,000 | May restore functionality but not full market value |
| Sell as-is to specialist buyer | No repair cost | Receive a competitive cash offer, avoid repair and holding costs |
These ranges are estimates and will vary by make, model, location and market demand for parts. For more detail on what we buy, see Sell Damaged Cars.
Our online workflow is designed for busy fleet managers. Upload vehicle details and photos, receive an obligation-free cash offer, accept if suitable, and we arrange collection and payment. For a full explanation of our approach and company background, visit our About / How it works page.
When selling a company vehicle, make sure any finance is disclosed. We can work with vehicles under finance but will need written confirmation from the finance provider or settlement authority. We assist with transfer and deregistration steps to ensure legal compliance and reduce administrative load for your business.
| Issue | How it affects offers |
|---|---|
| Minor gearbox fault (intermittent) | Moderate impact; parts buyers may still value drivetrain components. |
| Major gearbox failure | Higher reduction in offer but strong demand for salvage and scrap parts still exists. |
| Additional body or engine damage | Combined issues reduce offers further; transparency yields quicker and fairer valuations. |
Note: Offers depend on make, model, year, mileage and market demand. We assess each vehicle fairly and provide a clear offer - no hidden fees.
