Sell Written-Off Car to Nationwide Buyers - Fast Cash & Free Towing

Who we help and what we buy

We purchase written-off cars from private owners and small business fleets. Typical cases include insurance write-offs, severe accident damage, non-running vehicles after collision, and vehicles deemed uneconomical to repair. Our service is nationwide - from central Johannesburg suburbs to remote parts of the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal.

Why sell a written-off car instead of repairing

• Repair timelines and costs can be high; selling frees up cash and removes storage and liability costs.
• Written-off vehicles often have reduced resale value even after repairs - a direct sale to nationwide buyers can be quicker and simpler.

Core value propositions

• We accept any condition: accident, flood, fire, mechanical failure or salvage.
• Free nationwide towing - collection from Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and beyond.
• We handle admin including deregistration where needed and provide fast payment after collection.
