What damage does to your car's value

Cosmetic damage like dents and hail usually costs less than repair, since buyers can fix it cheaply in bulk. Mechanical faults and accident damage vary more, so photos and a description matter.

Written-off cars are different. A statutory write-off can't be re-registered, and a repairable write-off notation stays on the record. Tell us up front so the offer is accurate.

Should I repair before selling?

Usually not for big repairs. Small fixes like a cracked windscreen or a scuffed bumper can be worth it. Get a valuation first and we'll tell you honestly.

Common questions

Do you buy cars that don't run?

Our buyers focus on cars that drive. For non-running or wrecked cars a car wrecker is usually the better fit.

Do you buy hail-damaged cars?

Yes. Send photos and the offer will reflect the damage.

Is the valuation free?

Yes, with no obligation to sell.
