// Four steps, one safe sale

A workflow built around protecting both sides

From listing to handover, every step has a safeguard. Here's how a private sale actually works on Ditch Your Car.

STEP 01

Verify your identity

Upload your SA ID and proof of address. FICA-grade KYC takes under 5 minutes. No bots, no scammers.

STEP 02

List or browse

List your car with our guided form, or browse cars by people in your province. Save favourites, message securely.

STEP 03

Meet safely

Use our SAPS-partnered safe-meet locations or our location-share inspection mode. Never share banking details in chat.

STEP 04

Pay via escrow

Funds sit in our regulated escrow account. Released only after the buyer collects the car and confirms the sale.

// Why people choose us

Three pillars, zero compromise

We built Ditch Your Car after one too many WhatsApp horror stories. Every feature exists because someone got burned.

Private sales, not dealer flips

We block dealer signups at the source. Better prices for buyers, more money in sellers' pockets — no middleman markup.

  • Auto-detection of dealer behaviour
  • SA ID linked to one listing at a time
  • No "private" frontages for trade-ins

Safe in person, safe online

From masked phone numbers to SAPS-vetted meeting points and POPIA-grade data handling — your details stay yours.

  • End-to-end encrypted messaging
  • Optional inspection-day GPS share
  • Phone numbers only revealed at handover

Paperwork that holds up

Sales contracts, NaTIS transfer forms, FICA records and escrow receipts — auto-generated and stored for 7 years.

  • Signed digital sale agreement
  • Pre-filled NCO & RLV forms
  • Tax-friendly receipt for both parties
