Wheelzy review

Wheelzy fills a gap the other sites leave: a car that does not run or would fail a dealer inspection. It buys cars in all 50 states in any condition, including wrecked, damaged and non-running vehicles, and gives an instant, no-obligation offer online or over the phone. Wheelzy says it never charges fees, covers all pickup and towing, handles the paperwork at no charge, and pays at the time of pickup, with same-day pickup possible in many cases. It says more than 300,000 sellers have used it. The sample sales on its homepage show what to expect: mostly older or non-running cars bought for a few hundred to about two thousand dollars. That is why it ranks last for a general value check. If your car runs and passes inspection, get offers from Kelley Blue Book, CarMax or Carvana first, and use Wheelzy when those decline the car.
