Why Durban owners choose this option

• Competitive cash offers based on condition, market demand and salvage value - no obligation to accept.

What we accept in Durban

Accident-written-off, non-running, flood- or fire-damaged, stripped vehicles and cars with mechanical failures - we consider all makes and models. If your vehicle is still under finance, we explain the steps to clear or transfer the settlement during the sale.

Typical scrap reasons and how they affect offers

Offers are calculated from the vehicle’s condition, remaining usable parts, local salvage demand in the KwaZulu-Natal region and current scrap-metal rates. Example values are indicative and shown in R (South African rand); actual offers vary by vehicle and inspection.

If you want to compare selling vs trying repairs, see our guidance on repairing versus selling damaged vehicles on the Sell Damaged Cars page: Sell Damaged Cars. For non-running vehicles specifically, our Sell Non-Running Car page explains common scenarios: Sell Non-Running Car.

Practical tips for Durban sellers

Prepare clear photos from multiple angles (interior, engine bay, damage close-ups) and have your vehicle registration and ID ready. If the car is financed, tell us early so we can explain settlement options - many transactions can proceed with outstanding finance if the settlement is arranged as part of the sale.
