Sell your damaged Datsun Go

Datsun's second life in South Africa lasted barely eight years, and the Go was the car that carried it. Nissan wound the brand down globally in 2022, which left local owners with a vehicle that still runs but no longer has a factory behind it. For anyone holding a damaged Go, that changes the arithmetic completely: replacement panels and lamps are now sourced from the used market rather than a dealer, so insurers write these cars off on damage that would be a straightforward repair on a supported model. Used-parts demand from the remaining owners is what gives a damaged Go its value.

Which Datsun Go years we buy

The Go arrived here in 2014 and the range was discontinued in 2022, so every damaged Go and Go+ we buy sits inside that eight-year window.

Datsun Go derivatives we buy

We buy every Datsun Go derivative, petrol or diesel, manual or automatic. The ones we are asked about most often are:

Go 1.2 Mid
Go 1.2 Five
Go 1.2 Lux
Go 1.2 Lux CVT
Go Go+ 1.2 Lux

Damage we see on the Datsun Go

The Go's light body structure and modest crash protection mean even moderate impacts produce significant cabin and A-pillar deformation, which ends any repair conversation immediately. Front-end collisions and kerb-strike suspension damage make up the rest, and the seven-seat Go+ frequently arrives with rear-quarter and tailgate damage from reversing incidents.

Whether your Datsun Go has accident damage, flood or hail damage, a blown engine, or has been written off by an insurer as a Code 2, Code 3 or Code 4 vehicle, we will make you an offer. It does not need to run, and it does not need to be roadworthy.
