How trusted buyers build confidence

Reputable damaged car buyers earn trust through clear offers, documented processes and reliable payment. Look for buyers who explain valuation factors, confirm collection details in writing and can show how they handle vehicles under finance or written-off classifications. For an overview of our approach to valuation and service, see our About / How it works page.

What we buy

Trusted buyers purchase vehicles in any condition: accident-damaged, flood-damaged, fire-damaged, non-running, written-off and end-of-life vehicles. If your car won’t start or has been declared a loss, you can check options on the Sell Damaged Cars page for condition examples and the documentation we typically request.

What to expect from the first contact

• Quick online valuation based on make, model, year and photos.
• A transparent offer with clear inclusions (towing, paperwork) and any exclusions stated upfront.
• Scheduling of collection with free towing across South Africa, including suburbs and nearby towns.

Our simple, reliable selling process

Step 1 - Upload vehicle details

Start by uploading photos and a short description. Clear images of the damage, interior and VIN area speed up assessment. You can begin instantly by visiting our homepage and uploading your vehicle details: Get your free quote.

Step 2 - Receive and review your offer

We provide a competitive cash offer that reflects condition, model desirability in the salvage market and local parts demand. Offers are transparent; if your vehicle is under finance, we explain settlement options so transfer can proceed with minimal delay.

Step 3 - Accept, schedule collection and handover

Accept the offer if it meets your needs, then confirm collection. We arrange free towing nationwide and handle the necessary paperwork. If your car won’t start, see more details on how to sell a non-running vehicle on our Sell Non-Running Car page.

Step 4 - Paperwork and fast payment

We handle transfer, deregistration guidance and verify identity documents before collection. After collection, payment is released and verified promptly so you get paid fast. For many sellers this avoids months of advertising and uncertain private-sale negotiations.

Inclusions, exclusions and practical notes

• Inclusions: free towing, offer documentation, assistance with transfer and deregistration paperwork, nationwide collection.
• Typical exclusions: unusually complex title issues or third-party liens may require extra steps; we explain these before you accept an offer.
• Vehicles under finance: we outline settlement procedures so the transfer can proceed once finance is cleared or settled.

Confidence and protections for sellers

Selling to trusted damaged car buyers in South Africa reduces risks like towing fraud, delayed payment or unclear title transfer. Always request written confirmation, verify the buyer’s identity and use bank-verified payment methods.
