We buy vehicles in any condition from private owners and small business fleets, offering free collection across South Africa, transparent cash offers and fast payment.

Why choose a nationwide buyer for wrecked cars

• Free towing from Cape Town to collection hubs nationwide saves immediate transport costs.
• We handle deregistration and transfer paperwork so you don’t have to navigate eNaTIS or forums.
• Competitive cash offers reflect salvage demand across South Africa rather than a narrow local market.

What we buy - common wrecked car scenarios

• Accident-damaged cars declared uneconomical to repair or written off.
• Non-running vehicles with severe mechanical or structural damage.
• Flood- or fire-damaged cars and vehicles with salvageable parts.

What happens after you accept the offer

Once you accept the cash offer, we confirm collection details in Cape Town or surrounding suburbs and schedule free towing.

After collection and verification, payment is released quickly to your nominated account.

What affects the offer (real-world Cape Town examples)
