If your car won’t start, has major mechanical faults or is accident-damaged, selling can be faster and more cost-effective than repair. Sell Your Damaged Car buys non-running and written-off vehicles across Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban and surrounding areas, providing free towing, straightforward paperwork assistance and fast payment.
We purchase cars in any condition - non-running, mechanically failed, accident-damaged, flood-affected or written-off. Owners choose to sell when repair costs, storage fees or downtime make keeping the vehicle impractical. Our online valuation system returns a competitive cash offer quickly so you can decide without negotiating with strangers or arranging costly transport.
Submit your vehicle details and photos through our simple form and receive a transparent, obligation-free offer. For more detail on how we operate, see our About / How it works page.
If you specifically have a non-running car, visit the Sell Non-Running Car page for targeted guidance and examples tailored to non-starters.
Once you accept the competitive cash offer, we schedule free towing and complete the required paperwork. Our team collects the vehicle from your location, verifies documents and releases fast payment to your nominated bank account. We can also help with deregistration guidance where needed in South Africa.
Example: A small business fleet in Cape Town has a non-running bakkie that will be out of service for weeks. Selling the vehicle quickly frees up cash and avoids ongoing downtime and storage costs. In Johannesburg and Durban, private owners often sell when repair estimates exceed the vehicle’s practical value. We work with owners and fleet managers to provide a straightforward alternative.
Offers are based on the vehicle condition, market demand for salvage parts and up-to-date valuations. We provide clear explanations of how an offer was reached and outline any steps related to vehicles under finance. For more details about damaged vehicles we handle, see our Sell Damaged Cars page.
Notes: All valuations and examples are provided in the South African context. Figures mentioned on linked sources are estimates and can vary by region. If your vehicle is under finance, provide the finance details when you submit the form so we can advise on the best path forward.
Seasoned automotive specialists dedicated to helping you turn your damaged or non-running vehicle into cash fast and hassle-free.
