You will find a lot of useful information on the RAMLA (Road Accident Management & Legal Action) web pages.
First of all we have to definite what we have to understand will be full and fair motor accident damage compensation. But even before doing so, we have to clarify that the South African System of motor car accident compensation, is split off into the sector of bodily injuries, which is dealt with very different to that of material damage compensation. The web pages you are browsing currently only focus on the material and civil claim for you to receive the full and fair traffic accident damage compensation occurred to your vehicle.
The South African law say: You should be materially compensated so that you will be able to have your damaged auto repaired to the state it was in, before the traffic collision impact. That means either you cannot expect a new car (some exemptions excluded here i.e. if your motor vehicle is very much new, so saying not older than a year since being on the road the first time) if your one is fairly used and the marks of wear and tear are visibly impacting you auto value.
But even an older motor car must be repaired to manufacturer's standards to maintain the roadworthy status of the then repaired vehicle.
So to say it in short, get it back on track, but do not try to make a fortune out of it, as that can easily backfire on you. But this does not mean you have to agree to too many compromises in terms of your motor car repairs. To have your damaged car back into the state it had been before, you need to prepare a solid base of value analysis for your compensation, either by a qualified repair quotation or by a professional damage assessment.
But nothing is always stringent and you cannot take one argument alone to find the correct compensation basis. There may even be differences in what you might have to accept as motor car accident repair compensation, in either a third party claim or a claim you direct to your own comprehensive motor insurance policy.
A claim launched with you motor insurance company will have to look on what you have covered under your policy and probably have some contributions to accept, due to the content of your policy.
A 3rd party claim, directed to the perpetrator however must give you full compensation and no clauses, as insurance excess or other limitations in your insurance policy apply.
In most cases, you should have some professional support. If you want to get the matter sorted out quickly, possibly with less costs as possible, and being compensated for your car accident damage fairly, you should consider and let a car accident damage claims specialist such as RAMLA, or your local attorney working for you.

When one approaches an attorney/lawyer, to discuss the implications of a motor car accident, cost will automatically arise by nature of consultation.
Those legal costs can have a major negative impact in economic success, in a legal environment such as South Africa. There are several tariffs as to which a lawyer prepares the bill, and should be known and discussed and finally agreed on, before you mandate a lawyer.
The lawyer will usually charge you per hour, so you should know about his hourly rates. This can vary from between R750 for a junior/candidate attorney up to R3 000 or even more for a senior attorney, depending on individually defined remuneration.
If you accept the attorney's tariffs on a "client to party"-basis, it will mean that he will bill you for every necessary action. The effect is that you will not be reimbursed for all the costs spent, even if your compensation claim for the auto accident damages will be won fully in your favour.
Legal cost in a car accident claim for compensation can be avoided or reduced when choosing other ways as to mandate just an attorney, i.e. if RAMLA will support the claim.

Legal support can just be the advice of a lawyer or better his/her way to pursue your motor vehicle accident damage claim. But support should mean that the legal adviser must oversee the case in the preparation phase and advise the client on the kind of proof, arguments, witnesses or other requirement will be needed to ensure a successful motor car crash compensation claim.
Legal advice does not always mean that you will be practically supported in preparing or gathering all that is needed to have a successful vehicle accident claim. You will probably be advised to gather all needed on your own as what is needed to proof your motor accident claim and hand it in to your lawyer.
Advice is not automatically support. RAMLA will advise and support the claim.

The term "listed value" is the value of a car at present, in a reasonable and prescribed condition, by downscaling the price of a new car, based on such parameters as age, mileage, condition, extras, etc. and published in the dealers motor car value list, to give orientation for buying and selling values of used motor cars.
Almost all types and makes of cars, up to a reasonable age, which are sold in the country, are listed in the "Transunion Auto Dealers Guide". The value of a car is determined according to the individual data of the vehicle, as said above and to the status/condition before the car accident damage.
If your car sustains serious accident damage caused in a vehicle crash, it must be determined if the repair cost will exceed the market value. If that is the case, your car will be written off or total loss, meaning that is not economically worth it to repair the damage. You will then receive a compensation offer to the maximum of the presently listed value, minus the "scrap" value.
But it is very important to understand what really the market value is, as this is the term to which compensation in a case of "write off" or total loss of the damaged car, must be looked on. The market value must not always be coherent to such dealer's schemes they use to determine their business praxis for buy and sell a used motor car.
Double check if you are told the car is written off to minimise losses.
