Sell Your Written-Off Car Near Me - Fast, Trustworthy Cash Offers in South Africa

Why Sell Your Written-Off Car?

If your vehicle has been declared a write-off after an accident or is no longer roadworthy due to damage, selling to a specialist service can be easier, safer, and more rewarding than struggling with repairs or risky private sales. Whether you're in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, or any nearby region, you can quickly turn your written-off car into cash without hassle.

What Qualifies as a Written-Off Car?

A written-off car in South Africa is a vehicle deemed uneconomical to repair by insurers after serious accident, flood, fire, or major mechanical damage. These are often declared Code 2 or Code 3 "write-offs" and are no longer fit for regular use. Most buyers and dealers will not accept such cars due to safety and registration limits - but there's a transparent, legal way to sell them for fair value.

Typical Offer Impact Table

All offers are calculated case-by-case based on real vehicle data, photos, and current market salvage values in South Africa.

Understanding Paperwork and Legal Steps in South Africa

To sell your written-off car, you'll need to comply with South African legal steps, including deregistering the vehicle with the relevant licensing authority. Our team completes the deregistration process as part of the transaction, ensuring you have proof and peace of mind. If your car is financed, we can help settle any outstanding finance directly with your bank before finalizing your sale.

Why Free Towing Matters

Many written-off cars can't be driven, making transport a challenge. We provide free towing from anywhere - including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, or outlying towns. No added costs, no organisation stress.

Maximise Your Written-Off Car's Value

• Include several clear photos of all damages and the vehicle's interior/exterior
• Provide details of service history and remaining salvageable parts
• Be upfront about the car's write-off status and registration code
• Mention any extras (spare keys, service books, valuable upgrades)

What Happens After Collection?

Once collected, your car is deregistered, and payment is transferred and verified in your bank account. Vehicles usually enter the salvage process for parts or, if suitable, are processed for legal export or recycling within South Africa's regulated salvage sector.

South African Scenario Example

For instance, a Pretoria driver with a Code 3 written-off sedan uploads photos and gets an offer. After accepting, paperwork is prepared, the car is collected within 48 hours, and funds are paid out immediately once the vehicle is verified. The service covers all cities and outlying regions with the same seamless process.
