Sell a Salvage Car with Gearbox Problems in Polokwane - Fast Cash & Free Towing

Sell a salvage car with gearbox problems in Polokwane - overview

If you need to sell a salvage car with gearbox problems in Polokwane, you’re not alone. Gearbox faults often make a vehicle non-running or uneconomic to repair. Sell Your Damaged Car buys salvage and written-off vehicles in any condition and offers a streamlined process: upload details and photos, receive a clear cash offer, accept if it suits you, and we arrange free towing and handle the paperwork.

Why selling can be the smarter option

Repairing a major gearbox fault can be costly, time-consuming and uncertain-especially for older or high-mileage cars. Selling the vehicle as salvage converts the problem into immediate funds and removes the hassle of sourcing parts, arranging repairs or finding a specialist gearbox workshop in or around Polokwane.

What we accept

• Salvage and accident-damaged vehicles with gearbox or transmission failure.
• Non-running cars that won’t engage gears or have severe transmission noise.
• Written-off vehicles and cars under fleet or private ownership across Limpopo.

Learn more about our company and how the process works on our About page. If your vehicle has wider body or engine damage in addition to gearbox issues, see our Sell Damaged Cars page for examples of accepted conditions.

Fast checklist before you submit

• Photos: exterior, interior, visible gearbox/transmission area if accessible.
• Basic vehicle info: make, model, year, mileage and VIN if available.
• Any paperwork: service history, registration documents, proof of ownership.

Submitting accurate details helps us produce a transparent, competitive cash offer quickly. We will explain how gearbox condition affects valuation so you can make an informed decision.

How the sell process works in Polokwane

Our online process is designed for speed and clarity. Upload photos and vehicle details through our homepage, receive an obligation-free valuation and, if you accept, we arrange collection from your Polokwane address. We handle deregistration and other paperwork and release near-instant payment once the vehicle is collected.

Start by uploading vehicle details and photos. If the car won’t move or is non-running due to the gearbox, our team follows the same collection steps as for non-running vehicles - see our Sell Non-Running Car guidance for what to expect.

What affects the offer for a gearbox-failed salvage car

Offers consider overall vehicle value, age, demand for parts, and how severe the gearbox fault is. Typical factors include whether the gearbox can be removed for parts, if ancillary systems (engine, ECU) remain intact, and current salvage demand in South Africa.

Transparency, paperwork and payment

We explain the offer components and handle admin, including transfer or deregistration where required under South African regulations. Payment is verified and released promptly after collection; expect near-instant payment following completion of paperwork. If the vehicle is under finance, we explain how settlement works and coordinate with your lender to ensure a clean transfer.

Example scenarios (South Africa context)

• Older bakkie with gearbox seizure in Polokwane: likely sold for parts and body; free towing removes a major cost for the owner.
• Luxury sedan with gearbox faults but intact electronics: higher salvage demand for components may increase the competitive cash offer.
