Why choose a specialist buyer in Durban

Local specialists understand the Durban salvage market: demand for parts, scrapyard access, and realistic resale channels. Working with a buyer who collects locally removes the hassle of arranging transport, negotiating with multiple private buyers, and handling complex admin. Our service covers Durban metro areas and surrounds, offering a straightforward online valuation and clear next steps - learn more about our approach on the About / How it works page.

What we buy and what affects offers

We purchase written-off, flood or fire damaged, mechanically failed and non-running vehicles. Offers are influenced by vehicle age, make and model demand, the extent of damage, and parts salvageability. Below is a compact reference comparing common damage types and their typical impact on offers:

For owners unsure whether to sell or attempt repair, see our related options for non-running vehicles on the Sell Non-Running Car and Sell Damaged Cars pages. These can help you compare repair costs with the convenience of selling for cash.

Paperwork is completed by our team and payment is released quickly after collection. To begin right away, upload vehicle details and get a competitive cash offer.

Common questions Durban sellers ask

• Do you collect from my suburb? - Yes. We cover Durban metro and surrounding areas with free towing.
• What about a car under finance? - Inform your lender; we can work with settled balances and assist with transfer paperwork but outstanding finance must be disclosed.
• Who handles deregistration? - We assist with deregistration and paperwork to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership on collection.

Repair cost vs value retained

Deciding whether to repair or sell depends on repair estimates and the vehicle’s post-repair market value. Repairs that approach or exceed a large percentage of the car’s market value often make selling a more practical choice; our quick online offer helps you compare options without committing to expensive repairs.

What happens after you accept the offer

Once you accept a cash offer we book a convenient collection time in Durban, tow your vehicle at no cost, complete the transfer paperwork including deregistration where required, and release payment. Payment methods are secure and verified before finalising the transaction. If you want an overview of our full process, visit our About / How it works page for details.
