If your vehicle is written off, badly damaged, flood- or fire-affected, or simply a non-runner in Cape Town, you need a buyer who handles collection, paperwork and payment reliably. Sell Your Damaged Car buys scrap and salvage vehicles across Cape Town and surrounds, provides a competitive cash offer, organises free towing and manages deregistration so you don’t have to.
We purchase vehicles in any condition - accident-damaged, flood or fire damage, mechanical failure, non-running or written-off. For drivers in Cape Town (including Northern Suburbs, Southern Suburbs, Atlantic Seaboard, Tygerberg and Mitchells Plain), our local network of collection teams means faster pick-ups and clear communication throughout the sale.

| Damage Type | What affects offers |
|---|---|
| Accident damage (structural) | Repair complexity and structural issues lower offers more than superficial panel damage. |
| Mechanical failure (engine/gearbox) | Cost to replace major drivetrain components influences valuation. |
| Flood or water damage | Electrical and corrosion risk-buyers factor in higher uncertainty. |
| Fire damage | Severe; often classified as total loss and priced for parts/salvage. |
| Non-running / scrap | Condition, recoverable parts and tow location affect the offer. |

Offers are based on vehicle make, model, year, mileage, extent of damage, availability of salvage parts and current local demand. Cape Town’s proximity to dismantlers and recyclers can affect offers for certain popular models. We aim to provide a competitive cash offer that reflects the local market and condition of the vehicle.
We help with the documentation needed to transfer ownership or deregister a written-off vehicle in South Africa. If the vehicle is still under finance, inform your creditor-sales proceed once outstanding finance is settled or with creditor consent. Our team will guide you through required ID, vehicle documents and the deregistration steps applicable under South African regulations.
Once the vehicle is collected, our team finalises the paperwork and processes payment. Payment is released promptly and can be verified. We can also support deregistration paperwork where applicable to help close your file with registration authorities.
