The repairsLow confidence
| Repair | What it is based on | Range | Used |
|---|
| Engine and gearbox diagnosis (non-runner) | Notes: Non-runner. The cause isn't stated, and the photo shows no obvious front-end impact. | R 800 – R 1 500 | R 1 200 |
| Likely repair for non-runner fault (starter, battery, sensors, or AMT actuator/clutch) | Notes: Non-runner. The fault is unknown, so I've allowed a mid-range repair and not a replacement engine. The photo shows no engine bay damage. | R 3 000 – R 12 000 | R 7 500 |
| Bonnet panel beat and respray (if the bonnet is creased) | Photo 1: the bonnet looks slightly wavy and creased near the front edge | R 2 500 – R 4 500 | R 3 500 |
| Front bumper scuff repair and respray, and lower trim | Photo 1: the lower front bumper and spoiler area looks scuffed and the trim is rough | R 2 000 – R 4 000 | R 3 000 |
| Interior valet | A 133,000 km car with a non-runner auction notes; the interior isn't visible | R 800 – R 1 500 | R 1 200 |
| Repair estimate | R 9 100 – R 23 500 | R 16 400 |
The car looks fairly straight from one front three-quarter photo, with a slightly creased bonnet and a scuffed lower bumper. The cause of the non-runner fault is unknown, and the estimate can't see the engine bay, underside, rear or interior.
Each repair’s “used” figure is the middle of its range. Fees, transport and licensing are in the box above, not here. An AI model’s reading of photos is not an inspection — view the car before you bid.
