Sell your damaged Renault Kwid

Priced beneath almost everything else on the new-car market, the Kwid attracts buyers stretching to their absolute limit — which means light insurance cover, sometimes none at all, and real reluctance to spend on repairs. When one is damaged, the owner is typically still paying it off with no way to fund a panelbeater. Selling the car exactly as it stands is often the only route to clearing the outstanding finance, and that is the call we take most often on this model.

Damage we see on the Renault Kwid

Kwid damage tends to be structural relative to the car's size. The lightweight body means even a moderate impact deforms the front rails or rear floor, and a shell that is out of alignment cannot be economically straightened on a vehicle this cheap. Kerb strikes and pothole damage to suspension and steering are the second-most common reason we are contacted.

Whether your Renault Kwid 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.
