Practical considerations specific to South Africa

Selling a scrap panel van has a few SA-specific points to bear in mind: paperwork (proof of ownership and ID), possible finance settlements if the van is bonded, and correct deregistration or salvage documentation for legal disposal. We support owners through these steps and can liaise with lenders where required to ensure title transfer is handled correctly and safely.

How to prepare your van for a quick sale

• Take clear photos of the van from multiple angles, plus close-ups of damage and the VIN/chassis plate.
• Have ownership documents and ID ready; note if the vehicle is still financed.
• Provide honest descriptions-transparency speeds up valuation and collection.

What happens after collection

After you accept our offer we schedule collection and complete the paperwork. Once the vehicle has been collected and verification is complete, payment is released to your nominated bank account. If you’re unsure about deregistration or salvage certification we will explain next steps and provide documentation for your records.
