If your automatic car suffered storm damage - from hail, fallen trees, flooding or wind-blown debris - selling to specialist storm-damaged automatic car buyers SA can save time, storage and repair headaches. We buy automatics in any condition, offer free nationwide towing and handle paperwork including deregistration and collection.

For details on what we buy, see our Sell Damaged Cars page.
| 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 |
