Valuations consider make, model, year, mileage, extent of visible damage and market demand for salvage parts. Damage from collisions, flood and fire typically reduces an offer more than cosmetic damage. Offers are personalised - we do not promise identical outcomes for all vehicles. South African sellers should have photos (multiple angles), the vehicle registration papers and, if applicable, details of any outstanding finance.
| Feature | What it means for your offer |
|---|---|
| Non-running (engine/electrical) | Lower offer than running vehicle; free towing mitigates logistics cost. |
| Accident damage (structural) | Greater impact on offer due to repair complexity and salvage classification. |
| Cosmetic damage | Smaller reduction; parts may retain resale value. |
