Sell Your Damaged Car

Sell Your Damaged Car is one of South Africa’s fastest-growing platforms for selling damaged, unwanted and non-running vehicles. We make it easy for vehicle owners to turn their damaged cars into cash without the stress, delays or complications often associated with private sales.

Whether your vehicle has been involved in an accident, suffered hail or flood damage, developed a serious mechanical fault or simply refuses to start, we are ready to make you an offer. We purchase vehicles in virtually any condition, including accident-damaged cars, hail-damaged vehicles, flood-damaged cars, non-runners, non-starters and vehicles that are still under finance, subject to the applicable settlement and ownership requirements.

How We Determine the Value of Your Damaged Car

Every damaged vehicle is different, which is why our offers are based on several important considerations rather than a one-size-fits-all price. Our assessment takes into account the vehicle’s make, model and year, as well as the condition of its engine, gearbox and drivetrain. These components can significantly influence the vehicle’s remaining value and potential for repair, resale or salvage.

We also evaluate the extent of accident damage, hail damage, flood damage, mechanical problems and any previous repairs. The vehicle’s overall condition and the cost or feasibility of restoring it help us determine an appropriate offer. In addition, we consider its classification under South African vehicle regulations, including the applicable Code 2, Code 3 or Code 3A status, where relevant. These classifications can affect the vehicle’s future use, resale potential and salvage value.

Our goal is to provide a competitive offer that reflects the vehicle’s actual condition and market value. By combining practical salvage industry knowledge with the national resources of Auction Nation, we can assess a broad range of vehicles and help owners understand their selling options.
