We buy automatics in any condition, offer free nationwide towing and handle paperwork including deregistration and collection.

| Estimated repair range (R) | Typical value retained after repair | When selling may be better |
|---|---|---|
| R5,000 - R20,000 | 70%-90% of pre-damage market value | Minor dents/glass - repair if sentimental or high resale value |
| R20,000 - R60,000+ | 40%-75% of pre-damage market value | Major water damage, electronics or transmission faults - selling often preferable |
| Damage type | How it affects offers |
|---|---|
| Surface dents / shattered glass | Lower impact if structural and mechanical systems intact |
| Flood or water ingress | Significant reduction due to electrical and transmission risk |
| Structural or drivetrain damage | Offers reflect salvage value and parts demand; lower than repairable cosmetic damage |
